They both have the ups and downs. Journal bearing hold up better for tracking and are far cheaper to rebuild. Ball bearing definitely spool better in all forms but have a shorter life span(how much, don't know). But most times you have to replace the turbo. From what I read. Not sure about rebuilding. Either way cost is higher.

I still like ball bearings myself. I might be upgrading.
