I'm having trouble finding timber wide enough to make up brood boxes, so considering joining narrower boards to make the width. Not done this before, the options seem to be biscuit, finger or 'glue' joints. I'll be using a router to do the cutting:

The finger and 'glue' joints will result in a slight loss in final board width but look more substantial than the biscuit joint.
Anyone used anything like these and have any preferences or know any gotchas? Apart from the prices I mean.
Thanks
