I personally like tubular, it looks nice :p But dogs that like to scratch and destroy get more access to stuff on "the other side" with the bigger gaps, in which case wire might be better.

Depends alot on the dog, the tubular stuff works well for my parents in their suburban and their rickety old hound. My lab however tries to fight and squeeze her way through it. In her case it's a dog box or a crate only for travel and parking.
The netting stuff is garbage and most of my dogs would make short work of it. The mesh works although can be a visability issue. In my experience the meeting of mesh and tubes are the best choice. I wish I could recall the company but there is a place online that makes a mesh mesh and tube/bar top for commercial transport vans and quoted "custom work" available. I'll see if I can find a link.
Our experience with the cargo barriers has been mixed. We have the wire mesh one that is held in with pressure. It does limit the vision slightly, but not more than the giant drooling dog on the other side.
Some of our dogs have been fine with the barrier and others have quickly figured out that enough pressure and pawing will allow them to join us in the front seat. Once they have come through the barrier one time they never stay in the back without crating.
I use a piece of chain and a couple of snap hooks attached to the cargo tie downs. I can give them as much or as little slack as I decide they need. I can attach it to their collars or to their harnesses.
What is True like in the car? Is he likely to fight the barrier or happy to stay on the other side, even if the barrier is fabric/mesh?
Personally I use one of those crate dividers between two bucket seats. It is the divider that comes with those wire crates for making the crate area smaller when housebreaking puppies. I use two bungee cords to hook the wire divider under the bucket seats. This works for my dogs, who don't feel a desperate need to sit in the front seat, plus it was free
