Re: levelling floor dips
For me, it all depends on the size of discrepancies. I might be inclined to use a rapid setting render such as Ardex A45.

Re: levelling floor dips
Its a porch?, it should have fall, if it does SLC will not be suitable. Use the rapid set .

Re: levelling floor dips
Would use rapid set or ardurapid 45, if I needed to get it tiled the same day, if the holes were only smallish, otherwise it becomes time consuming and screeding would be more viable.
