Default Joinery for simple pine (tool) boxes?

I'm about to make some simple boxes for tool parts, one small one for
a trim router and attachments, one long one for a lathe replicator.
Both will be simple affairs from scrap pine I have lying around.

What kind of joinery do you use for simple tool storage boxes? Nails
and butt joints are easiest and quickest, but perhaps not the best
choice. What's your preferred choice and why?


Depends on what tools you have available. butt joint with glue and screws
would be preferable to nails, but then box joint or dovetails is even
better. Rabbeted joints are fairly easy also if you have the right tools..
