Don't know what kind you should get, but get lots! This is what I get usually, and they are on sale right now at Performance. These have the long stem.

Tubes are what - $5 each (less on sale). You KNOW you will have flats. They are expendable. Your time is worth $20-30-40/hr. I have never bothered to patch a tube. Just change it and move on with your life. I usually buy 6 at a time, or more. I carry 2 spares in my seat pack (in baggies, dusted with talc to make them easier to handle and so they don't stick together") and though I have a patch kit for the dire emergency should I blow the last tube, I've never used it.
Not sure it's even worth it to shop around for different brands, "features" - they will all flat if you ride enough.
