Honestly go with what works. Unless you are killing bearing on a daily basis than maybe something with a higher price tag might help the longevity.

I don't see the point in spending outrageous amounts of money on bearings. Full boca Kits running in the 2-3 hundreds is crazy. Funny part is those who I know that spend the money on these still don't win at the track. Makes me laugh.

I did go with a Green boca 5x15x5 for the two 4x4's I own and it works like a charm over the stock slipper bearing. As for other parts of my rcs, if I notice that the bearing is running badly I try to clean it and grease it before replacing them. Then I just buy what the LHS has and they aren't anything special usually avids for a dollar.
