Green Stuff

Does it matter if I get it in ribbon or tube form? Or are they the same?

Same thing

Get the tubes - I use green stuff alot and have found that the ribbons tend to cure in places where the colors meet - giving you hard chunks within the putty once mixed.

You can always cut that middle section out before you knead the two halves together. It does result in a little extra wastage though.

Thanks, I'm about to make a decent sized warstore order, so I figured I would pick up a tube if it was better than the ribbon. Plus for only about $4-5 more I get a hell of a lot more than the GW stuff at the shop.

I've never tried the tube stuff, but I would suggest getting the ribbon stuff instead - the ribbon can easily be stored in the freezer (you can snap off a small bit at a time), and it is easy enough to remove the semi-cured central bit before mixing...
