Are some better than others for puncture resistance? Will generic work? Are tire liners reuseable? Thanks for the answer :D
edit: Also, what size would I need to drill a valve hole to, in order to fit schrader (sp)?

yes, some tubes are thicker and made of more durable material
regular tubes do just fine
not sure waht you mean by "liner"
rim tape is reusable, but stock liner tape is best replaced by thicker cloth tape
"Schrader diameter" should be easy to look up on the internet
