use a coutersink. There's no benefit to having a concave bevel on the relief. All you want to do is widen the footprint on the actual clamping area, no reason for heroics.
If you're going to go through all the trouble to set the block up for decking, do some measuring before hand. Since you don't have a square decking fixture, you can get pretty close and straighten out some of the Generals handywork without one.
Measure the distance from the crank bore to the deck surface on all four corners. If one side is .002" taller, for instance, make that side .002" higher when you indicate the deck surface in. Find out what corner is the shortest and make all four of them match. (make sure to do the short side first so you won't have to do it three times).
If you can figure out a way to locate the imaginary line through the centerline of the crank and the centerline of the cam bore, then you can truly square deck the block. Based on my personal experience Buick v6 blocks are pretty close. When I decked my 4.1 block it was only out .0015 on the 4 corners.
On the finish for MLS gaskets, smoother is better. I used a 12" cutter with a CBN insert on my block, hit the holes with a counersink after decking, then went over the deck with the diamond stone I use on the ways of the surfacing machine. It leaves a nice matte finish on the machine surface. My .027" cometics seal good enough to crack pistons without leaking using that method
