Anyone know the strongest way to attach the top rails (the crown part) on these head and footboards?

Thanks!

On the last bed with that feature, that I built, I used a stopped dado. Make the top rail on the head/foot boards taller to fit into the dado, so it is proud of the post ends, and don't attach to the posts.

Mortise and tenon - treat it as a breadboard end.
