The problem I found with tape was that if (when!) I punctured and had to change tubs, the tape would ALWAYS be stuck to the tub, and so I'd be putting a replacement tub onto the rim with very little 'stick' - never carried spare tub tape with me :-( With rim cement, the rim stayed nice and tacky - as did the tub.
