One thing which I neglected to mention is that you don't need to limit your choice to just one method: you may have situations where a different method is better-suited.
If you do decide to go the Durabond route, buy it in the 33lb. bags (much cheaper than the smaller boxes) and use a flexible plastic container for mixing. A litterbox or plastic dishpan works well, allowing you to flex it to aid in removing Durabond that's hardened before you've used it. If you have a hardware store nearby, they may have scrap screen from repair jobs that you can get free, and they also sell the new stuff from a roll, rather than pre-cut smaller pieces.
