>>For the plugs do you just saw them off after putting them in the hole?
Yes, or they can be trimmed down with a planer.
>>Is there a special bit for countersinking or do I just use a bigger drill bit?
I found a counter-sink bit combo that also drilled the right size hole for plugs. It worked very well. I found it at a woodworking speciality store of some sort.
To answer your original question, you can use dowels to assemble the cage. If you have the jig you might as well use it. At least on the face frame.
I actually like the look of plugged screw holes on the rest of the cage. In fact I found a stainable wood putty and now just put that in my screw holes and stain over it. It gives the exact apearance of a flush wood plug.
