I am building a deck, my 2x10s are different widths one is 9 1/4 one is 9 3/8 one is 9 1/2. Should I notch or plane the joists where I rest them on the beams or is that a lot of extra work?

I would to not plane them but,If your deck is not too big I would take the joists and line them up by size.Small to big,then you have no up and down across the deck as you lay the boards on top.
