I typically sand last regardless of what tool I use to shape the edges.
Sand last.
I wasn't going to rain on the parade, but since it's already started drizzling...
I have the same radius plane and I never use it. I find the can opener style corner edging tools much easier and faster to use. Since the tool can cut on the push or pull, you don't have to reverse the tool if the grain changes.
I'm not sure which is worse, but I wouldn't go for those either.
I break arrises with 40 grit sandpaper, I round most stuff with a low angle block plane, and for posh work with a definite radius I use an old woodie rounder. This has a real iron and a real mouth, so it cuts properly.
Sanding leaves grit in the wood that is not kind to the sharp edges of tools. So whenever possible, leave sanding until after all the cutting, planing, and scraping is done.
