American Woodworking Mag had an excellent article on just this subject:

My personal experience is no matter what you use, it is very time consuming followed by a lot of sanding.  If you find a better way, let us all know.

Hello,

Your question is a good one. My friend's son wrote a book on cove cutting. I've gone through it and it doesn't mention anything about the type of blade. However i would think a good sharp combination blade would be what you are looking for. YOu are cutting a cross cut and rip cut at the same time. The techiniques works great, just make sure you only raise the blade an 1/8" for each pass and listen to the sound of the saw when cutting.
