either works fine, as do several other types of filler.
Plaster goes "off", ie it'll set *very* quickly when old. A mix it
yourself powder filler is my preference. I've never got on with the
ready mixed fillers, the ones I've tried have been "gritty", a bit
dry and thus not very sticky and you have no control on the
consistency. Ready mixed also have a shelf life, dry powders don't
provided you keep 'em dry.
Get whatever's cheapest in the amount you need.
Sort of rules out a 25kg bag of plaster for fiver. B-)
