If OSB, is the Home Depot version of Advantech called Home Advantage OSB really just Advantech made by Advantech but with a different name?

I really don't know, but I wouldn't use OSB or MDF if it was free.

3/4 tongue-and-groove OSB is most common for sub floors. When used with a sub-floor glue or Liquid Nail and galvanized ring shank nails the stuff is pretty damn strong. Usually we go back with sub-floor screws spaced at every 12" on every other joist even with the nails. Its hard to get a floor like that to rise or buckle. Whatever you use, make sure you sand your seams with a heavy grit belt sander or floor sander (60 grit is fine); that is where most flooring issues originate with OSB. Once you put down felt as a moisture barrier you'll never know the difference between OSB and Advantech.

advantech is much cheaper and easy to use tight joins but a bit of advice if you are putting flooring down and it starts raining stop straight away a start again when timber is dry what will happen is glue wont set properly and your floors will creek

if the frame below and the finish floor above are done correctly then the sub floor can be whatever you like as long as its spaced at the edges, glued and nailed
