Default Correct Body Filler?

What is a good choice for body filler on my fiberglass/plastic C4?

I have experience with the body repair process, but this will be my first time with a non-metallic panel.

I have a few small chips and deep scratches to repair prior to paint, nothing that will require large amounts of filler, just a small wipe in about 3 or 4 places.

I repaired a few zits on my 85 last summer before I painted it. If they were just a scratch or something minor, I used "spot putty". It shrinks big time, but I used a few of old playing cards to apply it, let it dry, sand it smooth, repeat. I'm not an expert on bodywork, but that's what I did...
