Any tube that isn't a standard tube is not worth the time. If the tube comes with goo inside you really don't want it. The only thing that should have goo inside of it is a lava lamp or a jelly doughnut. (ok a few other things but not tubes) The only time to go with a fancy tube is if you are running open tubular tires and want to maximize things by using a latex tube or a lightweight rubber to save a touch of weight but I don't. A normal butyl tube is just fine.

If the tubes do hold air you can stick with them but it is never a bad thing for a refresh after a period of time.
