A tube offers better contrast and more stable collimation.

Without an active cooling system a truss mounted mirror might track the ambient temp closer than a tube.

It is easy to install a good fan system in a tube to scrub the mirror boundary layer and create a laminar airflow through the tube. Not so easy in a truss with the fabric shroud.
