Question Bushing v. Bearing

This is our 5th year competeing in FIRST and every year we've used the bearings from the kit or pillow blocks for our drive train and all of our other moving parts, but this year our sponsor is getting gung-ho about these oil-impregnated brass bushings. I can't find any information about the advantages/disadvantages for them and he's not very forthcoming with information about it. I was wondering if any teams have tried them and if so how they feel about them.
