I'm going to do a combination, with recessed D-rings in the front & rear corners and 2 in the middle...

Plus lengths of Supertrac, where appropriate, to allow use of the Superclamp as well as some versatility for other connectors. I'll use large flat washers as a backing plate under the floor.

Just need to decide what I am going to coat the floor with before installing mats and the accessories. I'm thinking an oil-based primer and then a latex floor paint.
 
Talking about the l channel
 
Supertrac works great. I use it for my front and rear tie down. I don't attach to cross members. I drill through the wood floor and use a backing plate made of steel or aluminum on the underside of the trailer. Works perfect and is strong!

I thought about using large washers as a backing material but I figured one solid piece backplate would be more solid then 3 individual washers. Helps distribute the force.
 
I have been using E track for years. Works great I have never had an issue with ice build up you can adjust it anywhere. They also sell E track that is aluminum so no rusting. I bought steel, didn't find aluminum till I had installed. every year just touch it up. I use this mainly for sleds and all our studded. So I used sliders so studs didn't hit the E track.

Just some more input :

If you have bars for your skis , unscrew the lever handle & thread in some eye bolts ( I welded these together for safety ) .

I just use plain old surface mount D-rings with steel backers for the rear of the bike & sleds .

I use L track, never had any problems and very easy to change from sleds to ATV or whatever you need to strap down. I run it up both sides. And yes backing plates.
 
You don't screw in to the floor. You drill all the way through the floor and bolt the recessed D-rings with a backing plate.

I use two of these right in the middle behind each sled and I screwed in two eye bolts into where you screw the ski bars down. Couple ratchet straps and call it a day. I was looking at super clamps for the front but $300 seems like a bit much when straps work fine for me. I plan to even cut down a couple straps so they are dedicated sled straps so I don't have to mess around with an extra 6' of strap all the time.
