I have both the mr tuffys and the slime liners. I like both. A particularly tenacious thorn or nail can still get through either but they really cut down on the small thorn flats for me.
Make sure you try to match the size to your tire size if you can.
Also, be aware that most of us who run liners have had the liners themselves cause a flat at one point or another. The trick is to make sure the ends of the liners are overlapped as smoothly as possible.
