Not Ranked
A needle, ball, or roller bearing, when it fails, will damage the input shaft because the bearing material is as hard or harder than the input shaft. An oilite bronze bushing will not because it is both softer than the input shaft and oil impregnated.
Either bearing failure will require a replacement bearing. An oilite bronze bearing/bushing will preserve your input shaft. A steel, roller or ball bearing not so much.
