For outside use high performance wood filler which comes in 2 parts is prefrerred, it sets quick too. If its to be painted a cheaper alternative is 2 part car body filler, its essentially the same stuff but usually blue. Works for me.
I agree, although ive always seem to get a better result with the 2 part body filler! Dont know why. Plus a couple of my mates are carpenters and they also prefer to use the body filler rather than the wood filler. Dont ask why though!
Best of luck

Putty best and cheapest by far but you have to let it go off a bit - say for a week in summer, before you paint it.
