Looks like Rehd's board straightener or Paul's variant gets the nod.

Another option I'm considering is cutting my planks in half and using the Cummins jig. It just seems a little more direct and there's no doubt that the shorter stock will be easier to manage in every way ... except scarfs during the stripping process.
