I built a 3 wt for my son a month or so back. Was in similar predicament. I ended up buying a "custom" Clear Creek Fishing Gear cloth covered tube direct from Clear Creek. I had them embroider his name on tube. Took a couple weeks to receive (due to embroidery work). Very pleased with finished product. Wasn't "inexpensive" but for my situation it was what I was looking for.

Redington and Cabela's tubes are around $25 - $30 and functional.

TFO has triangular shaped tubes of a couple lengths. They hold multiple rods due to their shape and accept high spin guides very well.
