Either. In fairness, the dynaplug ones are probably better.
A lot of tyre places will insure your new tyre now. If I'd got a puncture so soon after fitting, my £3.50 insurance would have meant I got a new tyre for 20% of the normal price (then I'd have plugged the old one anyway).
Actually that reminds me. Must start riding about in the chevron areas again, if I don't get a puncture soon, it'll be below the minimum tread depth for the insurance policy. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink.

Yep, sticky strings - I've had several last the life of the tyre.
Rema Tip-Top is a good get you home solution.
Stop 'n Go plugs are shit.

I've had a few Stop-N-Go mushrooms fall back inside the tyre after some miles, it seems they are too slippery and don't work if the hole is sizeable (i.e. made by a meaty screw or similar).
Sticky strings stay in place, much better ____________________ 1994 CB250, 1984 CBX250RS-E, 1989 K100RS, 1995 TRX850, 2016 Z250SL |

There are people that have suffered punctures and repaired them successfully without recovery or replacing the tyre? You lucky sods.
For me the best puncture repair kit is a phone that has both charge and credit, and a recovery number stored inside of it (alongside a sat-nav app so I can locate exactly where I am for phone monkey in the process).
I have a stop and go without the gun, but after two punctures I've never managed to get going out without a recovery van because:
1) The first one I found after work, and was a long screw that had gone in at an angle (never did figure out if it was picked up at the end of the ride, or if it was done on purpose) causing multiple small slits. Thankfully I had a friend around in a car that had a portable tyre inflator. Without the friend I would have wasted the small canisters to no avail since it was leaking air even after plugging with a mushroom. It took a string and a mushroom to plug at home and was ridden slowly to get a new tyre fitted.

2) A van overtaking a bike in the opposite direction (forcing me to move over towards the kerb a little) either kicked up something, or I ran over something. Pop, pop.. wobble wobble.
I was on my own, and in the middle of nowhere. With no fuel stations around and two measly air canisters I decided to get recovery. The stop-and-go failed, and it was still leaking air owing to a small slit beside the plug when the recovery tried to inflate it.
I replaced that one because the bike was sold on a type of tyre that I didn't really want to take into winter, and so was the perfect time to switch over.
~
The recovery guy did mention glue when looking at my kit, but the mushrooms from new do come with a solution of some kind on them that may be why glue is not included in the kit (of course drying up as they get older).
I'd tend to lean towards recovery now if it occurs again. Sooner you phone the sooner you get home. ____________________ The do it all, T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ ̶o̶n̶e̶,̶ ̶T̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶i̶g̶ ̶l̶u̶m̶p̶,̶ ̶C̶h̶o̶n̶g̶ ̶N̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶ |
