Whatever you do, make the edge waterproof. I've seen much soft pine rot
away hnder the drip edge. Sealing the bottom few inches with oil stain or
paint is worthwhile.

Depends on what part of the country (or world) your in.
Here in Arizona the ply is cut flush then shingle molding (1x2) is added to
cover the edge of the ply. Then a drip edge is installed prior to roofing.
If you plan on having gutter, then the 1x2 shingle molding gets in the way
and you're better off leaving the ply extended by 3/4". It may also depend
on whether the fascia is plumb cut or straight cut and again, where you
live.
A lot of help, huh? I think in the end it's totally up to you and the way
you want it to look.

In a humid climate I recommend an inch or so. Even with a drip edge molding
the morning dew will absorb in to the fascia and eventually rot it.
