Kite tails

What are the difference of the different types of kite tails you can buy ? And when to use each type ?

I have some cheap (<$3) 10m / 32ft flat 6 cm wide tails, sewn in the sides. Works very well on my SLKs, and also seems to be doing fine on my Symphony Pro 2.2.

Looking for more, I can see that there are also icarex PC20 tails available ($5 for 5 meters), but I guess they are mostly for indoor kites.

And there are tube tails that seems to be popular, but more expensive.

I have also seen SLK kites with cheap plastic tails, but I guess this is mostly a cost issue ?

And there are lengths from around 20 ft to 100 ft (Have one of those for my 10 ft delta).

So what type of tails are best used on sport kites like the Symphony 2.2, or on framed stunt kites ?m And why ?
