Make menus and submenus the same model (no associations, just use parent_id) and then always use findAllThreaded() I have found that to be the best solution in similar situations as then there is only one data structure (in the same format each time) to traverse. I usually build the menu with recursion.
If you want breadcrumbs as well then you might want to use the TreeBehavior as it has a getPath () wich will make this easy.
