I'm trying to decide how to attach 1/4" plywood end panels to a plywood wall cabinet that I am in process of building. The cabinet ends are 36" tall and 13" wide. I will make the end panels oversized and use a router and flush trim bit after attaching them.
Advice based on experience, please.

I would use wood glue or contact cement. If contact cement, follow instructions and no need for pins. If wood glue then some pins to hold it while glue dries. I usually just use the little foam rollers to roll it on smooth and uniform.

Like for example this is 1/4" oak ply I contact cemented to these in-stock bare cabinets from Home Depot probably 15 years ago:
