Have you thought about knitting the ribbing on the machine and the kitchenering them to the sock bottom? You would have a seam on the ribbing but at least it won't be as obvidous as knitting a flat sock. I've done this and it is faster than knitting ribbing by hand.
It's a thought - though, because the socks are toe up, the ribbing would be upside-down, which might be obviouus if there's a colour change in it :) I don't mind ribbing them by hand, it doesn't take that long.
