"A" has the advantage that the mortices are at right angles to the ends,

I don't think so. With B the rail would be clamped vertically and the
mortise made vertically, the angle is irrelevant. To do A you've have
to hold the rail at an angle. The leg is maybe harder depending how
the mortise is made. Not very difficult to tilt the table on a drill
press.

And I cast another vote for B being stronger. You've got more
uninterrupted long grain on the end of the rail.
