Taping bathroom fan duct?

Do I need to tape the duct work for my bathroom exhaust fan? Regular grey tape okay for this application? It's in the attic.
Replacing old fan and coil/flex ducts with rigid smooth ducts. Was moldy inside when I took it out!

Also, do I just cut this Low's stuff with tin snips? It's 3 inch duct that comes in three foot sections that have to be put together.

Yes tin snips will cut it. Dont use the gray duct tape it dont hold up in the attic, From the heat up there . Use the Aluminum kind.
You can put sheet metal screws in it also, its not like a drier vent
