I have successfully used non-Rema patches with Rema cement when a Rema patch won't cover the hole properly, but I prefer the Tip Top whenever practical. I've encountered tubes patched with old butyl tube casing instead of a patch, and all too often it's an easy task to peel that patch away with bare fingers, let alone what air pressure can do with much greater force.
