From my understanding both are very good. The green bearings my not be as optimal if your driving style lends itself to frequent hard cornering.
 
I'm looking at putting disk brakes on the rear I have it out and all apart . One of the disk brakes I am looking at thay say you need Green bearings .

green bearings are non adjustable and were just put in my Duster. I would get them they are used in alot of other cars and do well.
 
The fundamental difference is Green Bearings are a sealed roller (round) bearing and OEM bearings are open tapered cone bearings.
 
I just spent a lot of money having a Strange 60 built and guess what bearings came in it? They don't even offer tapered. Get the snap ring style and you'll be fine.
