    I've always used the roller bearing type that is supplied with the better quality clutch assemblies. The cheaper clutch assemblies (Lok) seem to be the ones with the solid bushing type.

    Besides, there are more parts!

      I've got the roller in mine. It cost more so I assumed it was better. LOL.

        As a counter point, the roller bearings have been know to self-destruct. The solid bushing won't. When the roller goes, it can eventually take out the input shaft and it's bearing.
