I think, its better to open system browser using inAppBrowser plugin for both the platform by using 

    window.open('http://apache.org', '_system', 'location=yes');

using this you can easily download.

InAppBrowser doesn't allow download. You will need to modify plugin to allow it for downloading.

For android, inside platforms\android\src\org\apache\cordova\inappbrowser

method name private void navigate(String url) {

include

this.inAppWebView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {
                    public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
                            String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
                            long contentLength) {
                      Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                      i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                      cordova.getActivity().startActivity(i);
                    }
                });

before this line this.inAppWebView.requestFocus();

again same code in the method public void run() {

after this segment

if (clearAllCache) {
                CookieManager.getInstance().removeAllCookie();
            } else if (clearSessionCache) {
                CookieManager.getInstance().removeSessionCookie();
            }

            inAppWebView.loadUrl(url);

in your .java file inside onCreate

appView.setDownloadListener(new DownloadListener() {
                    public void onDownloadStart(String url, String userAgent,
                            String contentDisposition, String mimetype,
                            long contentLength) {
                      Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
                      i.setData(Uri.parse(url));
                      startActivity(i);
                    }
                });

Don't know about iOS
