Seeing the difference in price I would be sorely tempted to try tapered rollers until I got to the point I needed maximum
performance. Should be nice and stiff especially in opposed pairs in a RIGID (spaced) mount. Looking at my previous post on spindle
bearings they will not take extreme speeds but then how fast does your lead screw have to go. On small bearings e.g. < 1.5" dia
dn's are not going to get large very fast.
