Turntable vs. Slew Bearing?

We at team 1768 are working on a pre-season training project. Since it is a training project we, decided to include a turn-table into our design. However, our team has no experience with turn-tables. We need to mount the arm from our 2011 robot onto a turntable. This is a low budget project, and we intend to only turn 180 degrees in each direction.

The question I have for you all, is what are the pros and cons of using a slew bearing versus a turntable?
