For on or off road tubes, long gone from using butyl and will use latex type. For off road extreme thorn, rough and or screw studded winter tires, I add the weight of a liner.

Life's too shore not to ride Tubulars. I build a set laced to a 28hole GEL280 and GL330 in the back with Clement Crti. Seta for race days. Trained on them alone, but never club rides. Tubs can be pumped up to the max and still ride like a regular time under inflated. I love to corner hard on them. No side wall flex. I use to train on GP4s and Wolbers. What rim were your laced up?
