Use I used rubber sealed one in front and metal sealed one in back. Either style works fine.

Main thing to remember is be careful pressing out front bearing so you don't break front cover. It will come out easier and safer if you grind away most of aluminum "pot" metal holding metal washer on top of bearing. Once you press in new bearing use some JB weld to replace metal ground away.

Oh my table saw still works fine with same bearing installed in it's motor, too.
