Making a baby quilt?

Question

I am going to be making a baby quilt. I have some experience sewing but mostly just doll quilts and doll clothes for my daughter. The only thing I am concerned about is the last edge (The one that you can't sew "inside.") I want it to look "professional" not poorly made. Should I simply turn under the edge and straight stitch it? What stitch is the best for strength? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There are several different ways you can attach the binding. I'll paste some links for you below that show how to attach it:
