Almost all buggies and truggies uses the 8x16x5mm bearings. I did not go for it, simply because I thought that the 6x16x5 incorporates larger balls and thus, they are more corrosion resistant.
I think the 8x16x5 ones has smaller balls.

Actually Captain, there are (3) types used in Supermaxx Racer-X and EXT steering knuckles. You neglected to mention the 6mm x 15mm x 5mm bearings. Robin later upgraded the knuckles by enlarging the bearing bore to 16mm thus allowing greater strength (although minimal) and the option to go 8mm x 16mm x 5 mm for the 8mm Supermaxx cvd's. The more significant value of the 6x16x5 bearing is availability and selection in the bearing marketplace.
