The reason I use usingContext() is for future extensibility. I don't  
know your API well enough to know if that's necessary.
Do you need both flags and hints for example?
Do they apply for a single operation or many operations?
In the latter case I would do
Cache cache = CacheManager
     .usingContext()
        .flags(BOO)
        .hints("faster")
           .getCache();
