Sawing technique at corners for double plates

Hi
I am going to build wardrobes and storage here and there in the house. I plan to use the principle of a stud frame covered with OSB + gypsum. (I’m open to tips on alternative wall materials if I'm off track).
I’ve been thinking a bit about how to best cut the panels at the corners where the wall should wrap around the stud for the most aesthetically pleasing result (sharpest corners). I can see two obvious options:
1. Miter each panel individually to the relevant angle
2. Fix the panels to each other, either permanently or temporarily, and miter both panels with the same cut
Is either of these a good technique, or are there other approaches that are better?

Gypsum is usually just cut straight and a corner bead is applied on top, which is then filled and sanded.

What should you line the closet with on the inside? OSB is not very pretty on its own.

Thank you! What about acute corners (angle < 90 degrees) or obtuse corners (angle > 90 degrees)? I assume there aren't corner profiles for every conceivable angle and I have both slightly acute and slightly obtuse angles to deal with.

If it's going to be fixed solutions anyway, you can also clad with gypsum on the inside. Possibly also with OSB if you want to facilitate the mounting of various furnishings.Herr Hysteres said:
