Really anything is fine. Many would use regular t&g osb, but I still like Advantech, glued and screwed

I used OSB and where the end of the sheet fell short of the joist chord, I nailed in a sister, placing the junction on the sister.

This has worked since 1990.

Did you not start in the middle of the chord? Shouldn't need any sistering if so
