What is the best cold asphalt patching material you can get?

For a decent price, that is. I've run across three that I believe are available at my local home stores (ACE, Home Depot, etc.). Just wondered if anybody knew which one of these holds up the best or if I should just shoot for the best price since they all work well?

-EZ Street Cold Asphalt Patch (50 lb bag)
-U.S. Cold Patch (50 lb bag)
-Latex-ite Quick Patch (3.5 GAL bucket)
 
Have you tried to order UPM? I did, just now. It left me hanging on the "order page". Maybe they'll get back to me by phone or EMail. It was kind of strange to get on the page called "Order Form". and then it just stopped. Oh well.
 
Our local quarry makes a cold mix that the township and county roads use for pothole repair.

Price is around $45 per ton.

They only make it every couple of weeks, and then only by order. They don't stockpile it.

It's a rough base mix, and you would not be happy with it on a nice slick sealed driveway.

I just ended up buying 3 50 lb bags of Quikrete Blacktop Cold Asphalt Patch. I'll be pouring it into the hole in my driveway tomorrow and tamping it down with a 4x4 post. It looks promising, but we'll see. It only cost about $8.50 a bag. ACE didn't have any, Home Depot only had that, and the next nearest store I could check would be 30+ miles away. So the price of gas made this the best option.
 
I ended up using around two bags of it in the hole in my driveway, pounding it down with a 4x4 post, then finishing it off with a sledgehammer. Drove over it a couple of times, and looks like it'll do okay. Hopefully it doesn't peel up or anything. I guess I'll have to wait a year or so to see if it really holds up, especially in the winter.
 
Okay, so after all the driving over it and curing in the sun (I guess the stuff air/sun cures or something, then gets dust and dirt over top of it?). Anyway, it seems to be looking pretty good, so hopefully it doesn't settle much or I may have a dip in the driveway. At any rate, if it remains as it is, I'll be pretty pleased with it. Not bad for $20.
