Default stucco

I have to patch parts of the exterior stucco where I put in new windows.


You don't mention how large or small the repairs are.

I have never done stucco before, but I figure it can't be all that
different from everything else I do with trowels.

Given that I want to be able to by supplies incrementally from Home
Depot or Lowe's, what should I look for?


For small repairs, HD sells a quart sized _PRE_MIXED STUCCO PATCH_.
I've used it and have been happy with the results.

Some stucco advertises that they have fiberglass in it for extra
durability. Is that something I would want?


The fibers will help reduce cracks in the stucco and is much stronger,
IIUC.
