If you're going to glue on a patch (the only way these days), there are two often overlooked and important things to bear in mind. Firstly, rough up the tube well where the glue will go and second, make sue the glue is new. It has a shelf life of only about 6 months. When you apply the patch, use a roller to make sure it is pressed had against the tube and leave no air underneath it.
Once applied properly, these patches are as good as the original tube, IMO.
