I need to add a couple inserts for a power factor pipe, what else can I use besides plexus?

West Marine Gflex

I have used West System G/Flex a few times and it has held up great everytime.

I (or rather Whitca) have used tee nuts as inserts that were affixed to the hull with gradually larger pieces of glass and/or carbon. Works great and looks clean.
Just cut a hole for the insert into those pieces and block the threads.

What kind of prepwork do I need to do to the hull before using the gflex?

Sand area, wipe down with actone, apply g/flex, done.

I used Tooling Resin from US Composites on a project awhile back. Not sure how it compares but might be worth looking in to.

Me too. Cheap and easy and stronger than anything else.
