What are you putting on the newly levelled floor? Carpet? Vinyl tile?
Pergo? All have different requirements.
IMO, best way to deal with the floor is rent a sander, get it as flat
as you can, glue down a low cost luann plywood for carpet, a stout
1/2" or better plywood for tile and same for engineered wood.
Before sanding flat, nail down the floor boards to the joists with
ring shank nails. Expansion gaps are based on material...follow
directions. HTH
