For this kind of plywood angled construction, nothing would beat either a biscuit joiner or a domino joiner. If you plan to do a lot of ply construction, get the biscuit joiner. If solid wood will be your go-to lumber in your future projects say tables, chairs and cabinets, bite the bullet and get a domino joiner. Biscuit joinery is not as strong as loose tenon joinery.

Dadoes/rabbets will bring you tears for this project because of the angles, and you will need to do a lot of test cuts. Unless you already have a dado set and want to practice your dado skills, that will be the last thing you want to do.
Glue and screws are the simplest and easiest, but it is not as a skill-building method as other methods.
