If the pressures are high enough, both Stan's and Orange Seal work very
well in tubes, OS better than Stan's. I found that neither sealant worked
in low pressure tubes (sub 30 psi).
I use the smallest and lightest tubes I can find; 26 X 1" tubes or 650C X
23 in tires up to 32 mm with sealant. Works fine.
Example of benefit: Several years ago I swapped out my 700C X 35 mm (actual
width 31-2 mm) Kojaks for the original Parigi Roubaix clinchers. I had been
riding the Kojaks sans sealant and averaged perhaps a flat ever 2 rides of
20 miles or so -- no problem, used to it, just bought lots of patches.
Switched to the PR -- nicer ride! Got 5 flats within first 10 miles; used
up -- forget; at least 25 and perhaps even more -- patches that week.
Bought Stan's, put in tubes, and the clouds opened and angels sang. Later
found that OS was even better.
Now use 175 gram (actual on last one measured) 559 X 32 Elk Pass tires --
lighter and more supple than the PR -- with OS in 60 gram (claimed) SV 11
tubes in our goatheads, both pavement and firm dirt. Angels still singing.
