I've used both Vittorias and Challenge latex tubes.
My experience was the vittorias seemed too delicate, as someone else mentioned above. Each one failed at the seams, usually on the inside of the tire. My Challenge tubes seemed to last longer. Well, until a rock slashed my tire, wrecking the tube and tire. And I think the other Challenge tube failure was due to another puncture.
So, the Vittorias failed on their own, but the Challenge tubes failed due to outside forces. Huge difference.
