when it comes to "feel", use latex with a light tire, and use it on the front wheel. The reason for this is you want as much more road feedback from the front wheel than from the rear wheel. For the rear wheel, a light butyl tube with a heavier tire (eg, Conti 5000) is preferred for wearablity and not so much for road feel.
Pinch flat. Latex tube, once installed, tend to resist pinch flats becasue latex is much more flexible than butyl and so latex will 'give" instead of pop like butyl.
As for installing. Yes latex takes a little more mindfulness to avoid pinch the tube. The reason for this s latex is soft and it flops around easily, so it's easy to take a lever and press the tire against the latex tube and thus ripping the tube. You need to pump the lates tube up a bit so it can take a cylindrical shape and then carefully squeeze the pumped up latex tube into the rim bed completely, then let some air out before flipping the tire on the rim.
when getting puncture by a staple, latex tube will let out the air slower than a bytle bute, thus allowing you to stop the bike in a safer fashion.
Honestly, the only "downside" to latex is that you do have to pump it daily. Latex is much more porus than butyle so air leaks out overnight. For butyl, you only need to pump once a week.
Lasty, you can patch a latex tube just like a butyl tube. So don't feel like you need to throw a punctured latex tube away!
