I need to fill in some minor dings. What's the best kind of body filler to use? Someone told me a fiberglass based filler, but I've also been told to use a "putty". What's best to use?

Use a dent puller. Any autoparts store should have one that is a powerful dent-puller that utilizes a strong suction cup to pull dents out. Other than that if the dents are fairly big, remove the fender and use a rubber mallet and pound the dents out.

Oh, I am going to remove them and bang them out. But I know they aren't going to be perfect so I wanted to use something to get it nice and smooth.

Any of them should work to suite your needs... so long as you get the right mixture and properly sand it after it dries, you'll be good to go.

I'd say go with Bondo cuz it's cheapest. https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif
