Plug, patch or replace?

I don't know about plugging a flat tire, but I usually prefer patching and the patches work great, assuming that the hole is at an area where it can be patched.

When I hit the road, I usually carry a couple cans of fix-it-flat that Motul makes for motorcycles. I've used them a couple of times to get me to where I was going and then have the shop patch the tires up from the inside.
