What metal pieces?

Unless you want to drop thou$ands on overpriced LNE products, go with a replacement double row or roller bearing.
If it were me, I'd go with the EPS roller. Since it's already apart, I would not keep the old bearing in.

There is no proof that the LN solution is "permanent" or incapable of failure, and there are plenty reports of their other bearings failing, so it's really just a matter of which you feel the most comfortable with. There is no correct answer.
