most tube material is very good for what its designed for
ive got pvc which fine for my ten hours a months out for fun
its all down to cost and what the rib is needed for as each type will
peform a job well depending how its looked after and used
its not the best material its which type will suit the ribs job

At the risk of starting another monster thread, have a look here first:

Personally I would say Polyurethane (But then my tubes are made of Polyurethane so I'm biased) They definitely do age better than Hypalon and keep there colour well. They are also tougher im my opinion. This article makes for interesting reading:
