Basicly which of the 2 types is the flex tubing as used with flex

The plastic, common one.  The rubber tubes would be far too sloppy for
useage with the flex system.

and which of them is the pneumatic tubing (or is one of them neither?)

Neither.  The pneumatic tubing is slightly thicker than the one off
8002/8503, and has thicker walls, too.

To make things even more complicated, there are two different kinds of
pneumatic tubing.  There was a new style tube introduced 1998 which is
even thicker and more rigid than the old one.  I suppose the
"pneumatic power pack" has the new style, but I don't know, as I don't
have it myself.

So if you had the 8459 and the 8462, you would notice that the latter
has more rigid pneumatic tubing.  I would prefer to have the former,
though because of it's great design.
