I had to relocate some hardware on my PVC fencing to make the gate work like it should. This left some empty screw holes where the hardware came off, not serious, just unsightly. What's the best method of patching small holes like this?

I would install a screw in the holes. It will look more finished than an open hole, so much so I doubt many people would even notice them. Smearing filler or caulk will look worse in my opinion.
I'd just run some self-tapping screws into the holes and call it done. Maybe put a birdfeeding shelf there or something.

I've always used white silicone caulk, then when dry I would lightly sand it.
If you trim the burr off and fill the hole with a good grade of color matching caulk, the holes will be practically invisible.
