Has anyone use pilot bearing (instead of bushing) with 833 overdrive? How reliable is it?

I have used two of them and had no problems so far. Was/am running the o/d trans in both cars.
Bushings have more surface area and don't come apart.
Pilot bearing was per-lubricated. They made pilot bearing in 2000-up, at least they expect it last for acceptable years?inside tranny has a gear lube bath, pilot bearing not
In this theory, how should we explain why they use rolller bearing in cluster-gear, instead of bushing?

When I did fleet work for sara lee the bread trucks were all eather borg warner T-19 4-speeds or nv4500 5-speed's. Almost everyone of them that i changed a clutch in also needed an input shaft due to the roller bearing pilot bearing grenading & trashing the otherwise ok input shaft. Every time I made sure a bushing went back in. There were higher milage step van's with n/a 6.5 diesels & im sure those guys kept there foot on clutch @ stop light. No probloms aftrr that. So im a fan of bushings hands down. Rollers don't like any knd of misaligment bushing's are far more forgiving there.
