Covent Garden tube station is exit only Mon-Fri and closed completely at weekends until the end of 2015. However, other tube stations such as Leicester Square and Holborn are extremely close so that shouldn't be a factor in your decision.
While I agree with all Morland's comments about the relative merits of the two places (and indeed the alternate tube ideas) CG tube is indeed open now at weekends (and indeed probably fully open M-F)... I used it last Saturday!
