Pocket hole screws vs dowels for face frames. Which is actually faster?

I just finished two kitchens back to back. Used pocket holes on the first one, dowels on the second. The pocket hole cabinet took me 3 days less but I had 4 joints that shifted during assembly. The dowel joints were rock solid from the start. Cost wise they're about the same maybe $20 extra for a decent dowel jig. My old timer buddy swears dowels hold up better over 10 years. Anyone done both and found a winner for production work?
