B, 2
My current workhorse has one or two patches, because (sort of) I view it as C&V culture.
I also grew up patching tubes, and really don't see any reason to change now.
Actually, I'm superstitious.
I believe that once a tube has been properly patched and holds, it has learned it's lesson, and will never fail you again.
Unless I pinch it right away re-installing it, or the tire is defective, that seems to be the case, so far.
Hey, don't look at me like that!
PS: My tubulars, well, that's always a case, so far, of valve core leaks, not flats.
PS: I don't see any tubeless tires in my future, period, or chemicals inside my tubes.
