Where do you need to staple the luan? If not visible and in a place like a closet or cupboard, I've just used my small pneumatic nailer with 3/4" 18 gauge nails (I have a small & a larger nailer). If you need a little more holding power, you can angle the nails a bit. Or you could use a finishing washer and screw or even just a small #5 screw.
I think the panel will have more than enough holding power with the TV mount sandwiching it to the backer and the silicone around the edges. I'm mainly tacking it down in a few areas around the perimeter.
For that, a pin nailer is hard to beat IMHO. The best part is that the fasteners are all but invisible. The HF one is a good deal (but from many reports their pin nails are not very good); the main disadvantage I can see for it over far more expensive ones is the rather lax trigger safety thingy.
