What kind of binding should I use?

Concertina:
- glue is involved
- sticky and time consuming with the gluing
- not really suitable for my book

Japanese binding:
- no glue is involved (which is good)
- a drill is involved
- uses single pieces of paper
- quite easy to do
- doesn't lay flat when opened
- you lose a centimetre for the binding

Saddle stitch:
- no glue is involved
- quick and easy to do
- quite durable

Perfect Binding:
- tiny bit of glue is involved
- quick and easy to do
- uses single pieces of paper
- not very durable - pages can easily come out
- so the thicker the paper, the better

I was also taught how to bind a hard back book because this is what I want, but I wasn't sure how I would get my front and back cover designs on it because you can't really print on the fabric. Sarah said I could make a dust jacket for it but then it would cover a bit of the pattern lining of the book and I would have to resize the front and back design so that it would fit perfectly when put on - so thats something more to consider and take into account. I decided to look for an easier (maybe?) alternative, again from Emily Hughes 'Wild':

not sure if I will have the time to do a mock up for this binding though.
