Both dowel and Biscuit joints are pretty much equal when it comes to hold things together, the difference between the two, besides the shape, is if you are putting together two thin pieces of wood, is if you use the dowel rod you will of course have to drill the the hole but you take a chance that the drill bit will go in at an angle, and if that happens you will have a difficult time to get both pieces to match up tight together, unlike the biscuit jointer, you will have a guide that comes with it to keep your opening straight and in line. also buy a top quality wood glue, not all wood glues are the same ( as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for".

Yeah, both are more than adequate. Biscuit is easier if you have the right tools. But better, I have no research or anecdotes, but I would assume the biscuit, because there is probably more surface area to glue. But that's really a guess.

Done properly they are both good strong joints,however the bisquit joint is easier in my opinion.

If either one is done right, the glue used was a good grade, there should be no trouble with either one used within parameters.
