It depends on what you have to spend. The ball bearings in my truck lasted exactly 50 years. I just converted over to rollers in the past 2 weeks. It was really simple & didn't cost much.

They are safer at handling side loads, but lets be honest - these trucks are not race cars & we don't usually punch into a corner at full throttle.

My opinion - balls are good enough - rollers are better.
