Or glueless patches for having them fall off after 5 minutes?
FTFY.
Real patches will last much better. Spend as much as you can on patches and glue too, puncture repair kits from the pound shop will work as poorly as you might expect.
If you're doing it at home and don't need the little bit of sandpaper and the crayon and to have it all wrapped up in a little tub as you would if taking it all with you then it's probably worthwhile buying a big pack of ½ decent patches and a larger tube of glue too.

Ok so if I'm repairing, what is the best patch etc to use? I confess to having tried and failed with them in the past...

Or glueless patches for less of a faff? http://www.wiggle.co.uk/park-tools-puncture-kit-with-tyre-levers/
