Some does depend on the nature of your bugs. Many folks around here have screened in porches with regular deck boards, and no bug problems. Our mosquitoes are the ankle biter types, so they don't fly up high enough. The flys and such fly to sun warmed surfaces, and the underside of a deck is not sunwarmed. So you get flies landing on the wall screens, but hardly ever flying up from the underside.
Lot of heat loss through those open slat floors. If you're considering storm windows for the future to make it a year round room, then sealing (and insulating) the floor becomes much more important.
