Now hear this! Secure from general quarters! This is not a drill.
Grandson went to Paxton Lumber and came home with 5 boards, FAS, total 49" wide all 9+' long and he had them 3 sided. They are planed to 1-5/16. I could only find one 1/4" knot hole in the lot. We stickered them for acclimation and if they stay flat, we'll use as is after ripping edges for glue up. They look like a 220 sanding would have them ready for finish. Absolutely gorgeous wood and very precise processing by Paxton.

Splines, dowels, biscuits, or Dominoes, even pocket holes (which would be my last choice) will keep alignment.
I don't think you need it the other boards in the table will strengthen them.
Use whatever you have. I would use biscuits because it is simple and I have a plate joiner.
But you don't have to do any of it, just glue as a butt joint.
No matter which way you go, be sure to glue these separately before assembly and re-joint before doing the whole glueup.
Also an endgrain glueup would require epoxy to be strong and resist water intrusion.

Bob glad he got the stock worked out, he will be forever glad he swapped to get solid, full length stock. I shudder to think of what Paxton made off him though
