You really cant beat the facility of the dedicated plane - by all means a skew
or straight wooden rebate plane, but the 778, set up with a wooden addition to
the fence and leather pad on the depth stop to prevent damage to the work and a
truly sharp blade, is the go to tool for a rebate.  Omit the padding if you only
work on cruder jobs of course.
Good idea, that padding.

Woden W78 maybe? Nice big wooden front knob, dual-arm fence and a good 
adjustment lever.
