I love tubes, probably my favorite bait and overlooked by too many people. I usually only fish heavier heads on 4"+ size tubes. Poor Boy's, Cabin Creek, Right Bite, and Snack Daddy are all excellent choices.
If you don't want to rig them stupid style weedless check out some of the guys who sell on ebay. I've bought wire guard heads from this guy several times, if you don't see the configuration you want ask and he will do it for you:
