I would also go with planing if only a couple of planks.

Coupla things: wood often planes better in one direction, depending on the
grain. (Same goes for routing...) Planing leaves shavings, routing blows dust
and chips everywhere. A flat plane is sufficient to round off the edge of a
board, a moulding plane is not necessary.
If it's a small radius, a block of wood, coarse sandpaper and elbow grease will
do the job, for more effort -- but less time and money, once you factor in
getting the router (or plane:-), learning how to use it etc.
Routing can leave you with dark/burnt spots that take a surprising amount of
sanding to get out.
