When we deal with this, we tend to do two things. One, we cut out the defect to a point where the metal is of quality. We make that cut squared too. Next, we then bead roll the perimeter of the replacement steel to stiffen the metal. In any case of how this is handled I would absolutely repair this with replacement metal. And it would be 18 gauge steel.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
