Your other option is to buy acid free tissue paper and use this as a barrier/buffer to wrap your posters in, when using regular cardboard tubes.

i just line a regular tube with a polysleeve (bagsunlimited.com) and stuff em all in there.  Unless you're preserving a copy of Midnight in London or the Magna carta I wouldn't worry too much about acid free tubes.  Sleeves or paper lining will do the trick.

I store linenbacked posters rolled in polyethylene tubes (food grade ie acid free). For added steps I have large mylar bags I put over each end and tape shut. There's a thread with pics here somewhere

Right on.  Those tubes contain about 35 posters.  Put a sleeve in it for extra protection against flooding and you're good to go.  Really, nothing else is needed.
