I am wondering what you all pack for a puncture and where it is located on your bikes.
I found on instagram several ideas but I am thinking of 1 all-in-one tool instead of a separate co2 pump and plug kit.
Which plug kits are worth it ?
I dont like to put it into a frame bag / top tube bag because my food is in there and its full. The same with my back pockets.
Saddle bag is too big imo.

That’s a sexy bike from Boulder!
The Dynaplug CO2 system is what you’re after if you want to combine them. The Dynaplugs are so much better than bacon strips. I haven’t personally used the CO2 Dynaplug version, though. I’m carrying the Racer Pro and a separate CO2 inflator.
ETA: You can get aftermarket holders that’ll carry both the Racer Pro and a CO2 alongside a bottle cage: if you go the route like I did:

dynaplug
Dynaplug for sure, but which one is your call. I use the racer pro and it’s been fantastic. For racing I have a co2 kit, but I bring a small pump either way as if the co2 fails, you’re cooked.
Personally, I don’t think a saddle bag has to be that big for race-day. I run a morimono nano pack with a dynaplug, tpu tube, small tool, co2 and levers. Lashing stuff to the frame has never worked well for me.
Forgot that I gave a tube away this weekend and haven’t put a new one in, but you can see here what a minimal setup will get you.

This is the one I run on my road bike, the gravel bike has the same, there’s room enough for a ~40c sized tpu tube. The co2 will fit with the regulator on, i just dont have it on right now.
Edited with links to pics.
Dynaplug Racer is “the bomb”, as I believe youngfolk say.
Personally I prefer a CO2 head with a good valve, so the same CO2 vial can be used later for a topup; it stops the urge to take a second or third CO2 vial on long adventures. But if you prefer something like the Dynaplug Air, that could be cool too!
