suggested type of tires?
I was wondering if there's a certain type that's better for its buck than others in the 0-100 range
also with tubes was wondering if any certain brand is better than others or they're all the same

Better for what???
Whatcha got for a bike, what sorts of riding do ya do, how much do ya weigh?
And how big a tire can you git in there?
If it's the R330 you mention in your sig line, it looks like you are stuck with skinny. Pity.
I like the Vredstein Fortezza 25c if nothing larger will fit.

I'd still suggest the 25c Fortezza, it's a sweet riding tire. You could run the pressure at 80-90 psi and they should have a very sweet ride.
No matter what tire you get, you simply don't need a lot of pressure. I mention that because we get a lot of kids. Kids like excitement, and high pressure bounces them around and they like that. They think it's faster, but with a tire rock hard, it spends a lot of time going up and down when it could have been moving forward. It would actually be slower.

Ride what you have until they wear out. Than decide what you didn't like about them. Picking tires is all about durability vs ride/handling. I'm not hard on tires so I go toward the ride/handling side. You may need more durable tires then what I use.

Ride what you have to the ground. If you really want to change them I suggest these two that I've used:
Or the obligatory Michelin P3R/Krylion
Tubes, I use both Conti and Michelin Ultra lights...
- GP400S for durability
- Vittoria Corsa for a supple ride
