Learn the Scary Sharp tool sharpening method either way. It will change the way you look at hand cutting tools like planes and chisels.
I have built using both methods. The bead and cove if set up properly and done on consistent thickness strips is a joy to use. I built a 2 router setup that has produced a lot of linear feet of B+C. The bevel method is much more flexible. You have to ruin a strip or two to figure out how it works with your eyes, but then your set. It allows for the fancy deck-work that you see so much here. If you built the deck in 2 or more colors of wood and use B+C the lines could move out of alignment as you faired/sanded the boat.
I usually build my hulls with B+C and bevel the neat pieces in.
Keep a thumb plane handy, it is one of the most useful little tools around if its sharp
PS. Wear the glove or DNA your boat.
