Which glue is best for veneer patching. I have these in mind, Titebond original, Evo-stick or superglue. I"m edging toward the evo because I use it to stick the end strip on to kitchen worktops and thats really strong. What I dont want is air bubbles. So what do the pros use?

Depending on how clean the patch area is, I suspect hot hide or Titebond. Cyanoacrylate for really small patches.

Its clean but its not a true flat surface so I dont think I can get a good clamp onto it. Thats why I was looking for something I could press down with my fingers while it dries.

Check out Frets.com for how Frank Ford uses "Friendly Plastic" to make cauls for curved surfaces.

I would use hot hide glue with a veneer hammer (with plastic insert not metal).
YMMV

I recently repaired an old slingerland tenor that had a 4" X1" wide piece of veneer break away. I used regular old white wood glue and masking tape to hold it in place while the glue dried. Patch is good looking, not noticable at all till you really start looking for it. I got the wood glue from Luthier Merchants Inc. (LMI) supply a year or so ago and love it. Anything dealing with wood it bonds really well.
