If you have a mountain bike, you can often remove the tube, patch it with a patch kit (auto parts stores and bike shops have them) and put it back in.

What suspension is best for mountain bikes?

That really depends on what you want the bike for. For downhill / all-mountain, a full suspension bike is preferable.

Oil/spring are more rugged, but tuning them require replacing the spring. Elastomer shocks have pretty much died out.
