Kilz is a nothing product, take it from a guy who sold paint for 7 years. It's crap. It was made to fill a niche, something cheap because people (especially low-grade contractors) don't like to spend money on their undercoats. What happened, well everyone used it and now people will say they are going to "kilz" their house instead of "prime" their house. Kilz became synonymous with primer. Kilz is an interior only product and therefore doesn't really belong on your plugs. That said, I know a few who use it with decent success. I will agree that the Krylon spray can in your best bet for ease of use and durability. But to say primer doesn;t matter is untrue. Primer is super important, if your primer doesn;t stick or if your paint is not compatible with your primer, you might as well not even paint, because the once that link is messed up your whole paint job is doomed--it's only as strong as it's weakest link.
