Have it patched. Having a plug put in does further damage to the tire if your hole is small. The hole must be enlarged to make room for the plug which holds a chance of starting some belt separation.

If out on the road sure I would plug a tire, but if I have a choice and can have it patched, then a patch is the way to go. On motorcycles, I consider a plug to be a temporary fix to get me home and then get a new tire asap. I consider a patch to be a permanent fix and use the tire until it needs replaced due to wear.
