The plug-type repair kits work great, but I would stay away from any of those spray can flat repair gimmicks. All they do is spray some adhesive crap in the tire. You then have to drive for a period of time while it dries, otherwise it will pool up in one spot throwing the tire's balance off permanently. The tire changer guys hate it too, as it gums up the wheel as well.
