I have also tried expensive and I've tried the cheapest..... I've never been able to pin point one as being better than another. I generally use the lightest tubes readily available. Have only used the super heavy thorn resistant ones while doing some touring a couple of years back ...they workrd fine also.
Bottom line for me is - Keep things fresh, use quality tires for the expected road conditions, use your brakes wisely in the steeps and keep your fingers crossed.
