Treat it the same as any other solid piece of wood the FJ connects the end to an end and there is little movement that way
you could screw it but I would make the center the rigid point and use slotted holes for the rest.
or just use z clips and forget about it forever. They are way faster to install

I would go with your second idea.
Fill your heart with compassion, seek the jewel in every soul, share a word of kindness, and remember; the people's what it's about.

Not that it makes a difference to how you secure it, but are you sure it's oak? Menards on line only sells birch butcher block. Radial movement in birch is quite a bit more than oak, so if it's birch, account for that when mounting.

Here is what I am doing...
I am attaching this workbench top to the frame. I'd like to find an angled metal fastener locally that I could screw to the frame and to the bottom of the top that would allow for wood movement, but there are none locally that I have found.
