Which to get, rubber or metal sealed bearings?

[wacattack]

Right then, I'm looking to get a new bearing kit for my B4 and the company is asking if I want metal or rubber sealed bearings. Which should I go for and why?

[TonyM]

I use Answer RC B4 bearing kits. They run forever, rubbber sealed on the side that faces the environment and metal sealed on the other for smoother running. I buy mine from Ebay found under 'B4 Associated'.

Usually I go for rubber shielded and then take one shield off which is not
facing the outside world. That way you get a bearing that is as free as it can get.

they stock REALLY REALLY good deep groove bearings that last for ever and a possibly better than Boca's. I am designing the website for the bearings and accessories now. IIRC the bearings are £15 for a b4 set
