Default Ceramic and Steel combo?

How would two steel balls 'clean the track' or make the diff operate better? The only difference I can see is that the steel balls will get warmer than the ceramic balls. I am open to trying new techniques, but would like to know how this is better than running 100% ceramic?

Also, anti-wear grease in the thrust bearing sounds like a bad idea since that grease is so thick and sticky. The directions recommend diff grease (which is what I have been using). I would like to know how this helps the thrust bearing?

Again, I love trying new techniques. I just like knowing how this improves the diff. Thanks.
