I can't seem to find suitable bar end plugs that fit the smaller I.D. of carbon bars. I have shaved down standard plugs, but not very successfully. Also, I'd like to have some cushion since it can be pretty brutal in a crash.
I use Specialized's bar end inserts on my carbon bar with bar ends. I had to take a Dremel sanding drum and very lightly sand away the irregular parts of the inner bar to get them to fit.
I use the locking ODI Rogue grips (which are fantastic) and they come with plugs that fit into the lock rings. They're high quality and they look nice. Maybe not a good answer if you have some grips you really love, though...
