Epoxy or Poly for poly repairs?

Hi,

I'm doing some repairs to my Catalina 36, which is made from polyester
resin/glass over wood (like most "fibreglass" boats). Should I stick with poly
resin, or go with epoxy? I know epoxy is "better", but I'm concerned that it
wouldn't stick well to the existing poly, and that the (poly?) gelcoat won't
stick to it.

Suggestions?
