Need to build up on current subfloor (which is T&G OSB) to meet the level of adjoining carpet edge at the proper height. I am replacing 3/4" hardwood with .285" engineered vinyl. Should I put the extra $$$ into 7/16" OSB T&G, or will gluing+screwing normal square sheathing be sufficient? Trying to find the sweet spot between spend and squeak prevention.

You don't need t+g. Do offset seams between subflooring and build up.
