Ron, you have a mountain of work in tenacious white oak, therefore I would not use long bed joiner planes because the amount of work will be greatly increased in leveling the surfaces, it would be much less work to use short planes that will ride with the contour. I would however second Jay about looking into bevel up planes. The bevel on the planes blades can be varied to handle difficult grain (increase of bevel varies the pitch of the blade which in a conventional bench plane means a replaced frog) which might come in handy with the oak.
