re: Any woodworkers out there that can tell me which pocket hole jig I should buy

I use that exact jig in my shop, and it works great. Like TU Rob said, I would practice on some scrap wood first, but it's pretty easy to get the hang of.
Just make sure you secure the jig and wood to your workbench. I opted to use my bar Clamps instead of the kreg clamp, and they work just fine as long as I have it clamped solid and don't get overly forceful drilling the pocket holes.
ETA: as to your question on if it's suitable for cabinets and furniture--I personally think it would be fine as long as you select the appropriate screws and hole depth. I use it to make small boxes, and it works fine. I do, however, use an electric screwdriver to screw the pieces together because the included bit is too long to get into really tight spaces.

Is there anything unique about their proprietary screws, or will standard wood screws work in most applications?
