Aliphatic resin, epoxy, polyurethane, and CA are all stronger than the wood you are gluing, if you get good contact. For environmental and health reasons, I like to use aliphatic resin whenever I can make it work. For pieces that are hard to clamp, it is much easier to use CA, because it is so fast. If it absolutely needs to be fuelproof, then epoxy is best. I do avoid aliphatic resin for large areas where the water may cause a warping problem, but I seem to read about a lot of people using it for sheeting, so it must not be as big a problem as I have always thought. Titebond II is a waterproof aliphatic resin. I have begun using it for everything, since it never hurts to have a waterproof joint, and the woodworking guys seem to swear by it.
