I recommend the jigsaw. You can use a router and get better results, but you can also make a terrible mess of the job. A router doesn't just go where you push it, like a saw does. For how to do it, google "pattern routing." The other consideration is a saw kerf is 1/8 inch wide. The router will make a cut 1/2 inch wide.
One careless move with a powerful router and several inches of sidewall are sawdust. Use a saw.
In anything at all, perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.
