I think TPU tubes are a much better option for most riders nowadays. They have none of the hassles of latex (like fragility, finicky install, and rapid leakdown), and offer lighter weight, better puncture resistance, and greater durability, with virtually the same low rolling resistance. They do cost about 2x as much, but almost certainly will last longer.
