Don't use an outside surface patch kit. They look like ass. Anything that raises the surface will look terrible once painted. Better to affix a patch board across the inside and fill the depression.
Just in case, spackle is not the ticket beyond ~1/4". Spackling a 2" hole is going to take more layers and produce poor results. Not to preach, but this is someone else's house, right?
