Default Classic carpet Velcro- screws or rivets?

For those of you that used the Velcro discs to secure your Classic carpet, did you use the #8 screws in the floor pan, or the pop rivets, or a combo of both? Thx in advance.....

Default Screws

Under the screws. Seems to work fine. No way did I want to drill that many holes in the floor pans for rivets!

Default Screws

Under the screws also. That allows you to move them around if needed.

Same here. Screws. Fewer holes = better.
