Currently, tabular is hard-coded in `LaTeX-env-figure' (which is
responsible also for table).

I've added a new variable `LaTeX-default-tabular-environment' with
default value "tabular".  Now the tabularx style sets that to "tabularx"
on activation.  So when you \usepackage{tabularx}, inserting a table
will add a tabularx.

I don't use tabulary.  If you use it, could you please provide a style
file for it?  I guess it should be pretty similar to that of tabularx.

I think longtables aren't usually wrapped in a table environment.  At
least they have their own caption already.

Bye,
