   best and easiest is cast-in-place foundation bolts  (J-bolt ), say 1/2 x 10..

   if the slab is already poured... drill and set epoxy foundation bolts...

   You can also get 3/8 and 1/2 inch bolts that screw directly into a drilled hole just like Tapcons.

   Saves a shiitload of work. No inserts and no epoxy.

   Well, duh, for a well house  -  just glue it down with drywall or subfloor adhesive, unless you got some code weenie on your tail.

    Ditto what Gabe said about using wedge bolts.

   However, if you cannot find this type, you could use "quick-bolts" instead...they are a concrete anchor that has a nut & washer on top and an expanding sleeve  attached to the bottom of the bolt. Drill your hole, pound the sleeve anchor into the hole, place the nut & washer back on top, and tighten down with a wrench. These normally hold really well.
