Default Flat pack furniture - dowel improvement ?

Hi all,
I'm about to buy some flat packed dining room furniture from Homebase.
No doubt it'll come with a bucket load of dowels and adhesive sachets. Is
there such a thing as a 'better class of dowel' ? Are plastic dowels better
? Basically, I want to take little bit more time and make the joints as
strong as possible. Is the adhesive provided with these units up to the job
or can/should everything be upgraded ? If so, can someone recommend a
supplier of upgraded little bits ?

Cheers,
Keith

P.S. I know I could spend a bit more and get pre-built furniture but money
is a bit tight (like me).
