Bench top planer recommendations?

[CHJ]

And then, if what I'm after is as good a square and straight edge I can get, do I actually need a bench top table saw?

(Apologise in advance for poor quality shots, can't go back and retake with better lighting.)

This is my basic regime for segment or block construction work:-

Thanks folks, this is all good knowledge.

Of course I've ignored everyone!

I must say I'll probably end up using the band saw for the majority of things, I've just fitted some Tufnol block guides which now actually guide the blade instead of letting it waggle about freely as supplied. A world of difference.
