The worst failure I have ever had with a plugged tire was a slow leak, and I have plugged many tires myself over the years.
I would never consider taking a long trip without having a plug kit in the toolbox. Make sure you get the gooey, fuzzy looking plugs, not the smooth round ones or the ones with the peel-off paper on them. The former are hard to work with, and the latter tend to break in half when you try to push them into the hole... just my personal experience though.
