Amavisd uses the SpamAssassin Perl module directly (ie not really spamc or spamd).

For a high-volume site, amavisd has advantages if you want to do additional checks besides SA (eg virus checking). If you only want to run SA, you could avoid the overhead of amavisd.

I run various incarnations of SA (through sendmail-milter, through amavisd, spamc as a Postfix content_filter), and I can access any plugin I want in any of these environments. Being able to run a plugin is more a Perl issue (having the necessary @INC paths for the user running the "container", filesystem permissions etc) than a SA issue.
