Rubber shielded provide more protection from dirt when racing off road. If you get them from rc bearings the metal are the same price as the rubber and they come as a set with all the ones you need.

Rubber shielded all the way....

Rubber sealed have slightly higher rolling resistance but you'd never notice it. But they will last a lot longer when exposed to dirt.

with the rubber bearings you remove the inner seal,flush out the oil and replace witha high speed proformace oil
