Strip: bead and cove vs. ?

I plan on beginning my first stripper and am wondering about the options available for joining the strips. I've read Nick's book as well as the Ted Moore kayakcraft and they both seem to recommend bead and cove. Is there another way? I plan on ripping the strips myself but have not used a router much. Can I plane a bevel on them? Is this too time consuming?
