Always use screws on the ridge to keep leaks down.
Screwed in the valley guarantee's a leaking roof at some point in time.
The neoprene washer is to allow slight movement of the SM without pulling threw the screw head, during high winds.
Never use nails, period.
A standing seam roof is the best type of joint. 100% seal with less screws used but not on a corrugated roof. On a CR you will save approx 25% of screws but increase the labor time for standing seams.
Butyl caulk is your friend. The best caulking around-- bar none.
