Latex tubes are much better than butyl ones, and much lighter. No worries about durability there.

Light tyres are (as a general rule) more prone to puncturing but I wouldn't worry too much on a hill climb bike

I'd only use latex tubes for racing. Constantly having to inflate tyres is not my idea of correct living procedure.

I use 'em all the time! I find I puncture less frequently and I can definitely, for sure feel the difference in rolling resistance.
