I switched over to Owner hooks exclusively and they're the best for the money. For tubes, I've been using the phantom tube hook by owner, they're a pain to rig, but they are nice to use.
In regards to keeping your gear rust free, keep the silica gel packs that come with shoes, etc and put a couple in each of your tackle boxes. If you can't get those, buy some cat litter, get some old pantyhose from your wife/girlfriend/mother and make little cat litter balls about the size of a quarter and put those in there. The cat litter absorbs all the moisture. You can also put your cell phone into cat litter if it ever falls into the water. The litter will absorb the water out and save your phone. Learned that the hard way...
