What blade is preferable for cutting cove on a table saw? Since the leading edge of the blade does all the cutting, does it matter much?

Actually the best way is to use a molding head with a rounded cutter. This leaves a smooth finish and removes all material in 3 passes. with a conventional blade it is recommended to use 1/16 to 1/8 inch passes.
I agree with Don, and suggest that you tilt the arbor, and feed across from the side that the top tilts toward, so you are using the top of the cutter, rather than the side.
