There are pros and cons to each. Some prefer the bronze bushing over the bearing while others like the bearing. Personally, I prefer the bearing providing it does not get ran low on grease.

I usually put just a dab of ultra high temp grease in there before installing the clutch. You can also use dry graphite in there as well.

The pilot bearing is only going to hold so much grease, it won't hold extra it'll just throw it out.
The quality of the grease is the key.
