If I were using any of the other methods, I'd still put square blocks between the arms to make sure everything was squared up. It would be just my luck to find out too late I hadn't noticed something was skewed.

I would be going with the ratchet strap or rubber bands.
For something that size I have tent pole shock cords.
I keep a bunch around. You can tie them tight around different size pieces.
I use them for boxes with mitered corners

I used to be a picture framer and this is pretty straight forward for me.
Treat two adjacent pieces as picture frame mouldings and glue the miter.
Repeat with the remaining two adjacent pieces.
Wait for all to dry and then glue the two assemblies together.
I would use Corner Weld glue which, from my experience does a better job on end grain glueups than any other glue. It was formulated for the picture frame industry.
