With increasing wood prices keeping costs down is key IMHO. Question 1:
What are the advantages of using a glue joint bit as opposed to
straight cutting edges for panel glue ups. Question 2: Do the
advantages truly offset the additional costs (due to more waste per
joint and tooling costs) or improve panel rejection rate. And last as
usual, Might there be a better way?

I get very good results from straight edges. Never saw the need for profiled
edges -- just seems like additional trouble to set up.



Yes, and if you do raised panels, you get interesting results at the glue
joints if you use a glue joint bit.
