Cyclami started to get a consensus as far as reliability and overall quality given price. They have a metal stem valve. They cost 1/5 of Tubolito when u order 4 or more.
What people fail to get is that in the medium term a TPU tubes costs less than a butyl. You can efficiently repair TPU tubes whereas butyl is not that obvious.
