Dynaplugs are the best IME as you can leave them in as a permanent fix. A lot of folk I know carry the dynaplug Racer but I carry the larger Dynaplugger version https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dynaplug-B...=B09F9HYS7P&psc=1&ref_=pd_basp_d_rpt_ba_s_2_t

Another vote for Dynaplug. Two reasons for my recommendation; first experience tells me it works and secondly, and importantly, it is the only system I've seen that is made of metal. My experience of this is limited to the kits stocked by my LBS. The amount of force needed to either make a hole larger to fit the plug or to push the plug in can be considerable. I would worry one made of plastic could snap.
My kit comes with both large and small plugs. I've only used the small ones to date. You can consider a plug a permanent repair.
A plug kit is an essential tool on the road. It will take 5 - 10 minutes at most to plug a puncture.

I have been using the original brown coloured worms/noodle things for over six years without a problem they are all designed as permanent repairs. Although I have had very few occasions to use them as the sealant I use (effetto mariposa) has always worked on the minor ones.
I have got a Dynaplug kit but have not used it yet as still using the brown worms.

Yeah the worms are easy to fit and are a permanent fix. They're also very cheap.

Don’t waste your time and money on stans darts they just snap whilst inserting
That happened to me! I’ve also had no luck with worms. I’m currently carrying dynaplugs but haven’t needed to use them yet. Probably unrelated but I switched to Mucoff sealant from Stans sealant 2 years ago and haven’t had to resort to plugs since.

Dynaplug without question, although the price of the replacement darts has gone thru the roof!

The Muc-off one I have is also (mostly) made of metal

I’ve switched to those and yeah they kinda work for me, it would get me home but not a perm fix, in fact I’ve tried everything and I cannot patch schwalbe pro ones even at home, odd because their mtb and gravel range work with a simple glue on patch every time and tyre worms.
Right now it’s a big puncture equals a new tyre or run a tube, but then punctures are super rare, maybe one or three in the last five years.

I also carry a tiny (40ml) bottle of sealant. With a slow-to-seal puncture you might exhaust the sealant in the tyre. A top-up will restore the puncture resistance. Just make sure your multitool can remove the valve core (mine does with one of the notches on the chain link extractor). Add sealant, replace core, spin the wheel and inflate. It might soften a bit in the first mile, but riding will distribute the sealant where it's needed.
