Nashbar touring frame--Canti brakes?

I am building a tourer on the Nashbar frame (shown here):
http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product...1_10000_200450

I would like to use cantilever brakes since I will be using 105 brifters which are incompatible with V-brakes.

This frame, while it has posts for mounting canti (or V) brakes, has no cable hangers.

I'm putting together an order with Niagara; and I'm having trouble identifying a suitable rear brake cable guide. Which one are you using? How is it attached? Where is the barrel adjuster? Here are some candidates:

For the front brake cable guide I'm planning on using this:

For the cantilever brakes, they all look the same to me--Any recommendations? More candidates:

Appreciate any help!
