They all look fantastic, but everything that I've tried wasn't that 
great. Basically, unless thay are applying water 24x7, then only the 
bits near the holes get moist and the rest of the garden is very dry.
So, you could probably get something to work for a flower garden bed 
containing bushes, etc, but the best thing, IMO would be that brown tube 
with 3mm holes spaced along it.

My approach now, for our vege garden, is to heavily mulch and then use a 
spray strip or noddy (useless ****e/low pressure head) over the top. 
Water early morning or late afternoon(some crops apparently don't like 
this.) and just let is soak in through the mulch.

That is just a matter of putting in a water distribution system.
