caster wheels vs. omni wheels

i was just wondering whatpeople thought of the whole idea of having rear wheel drive and casters or omnis on the front. we tried them and withouit too much weight on them they seemto have similar drive properties in that the handling is so sensitive it is nearly impossible to attain a speed and drive straight. just wondering if there are any true advantages to either.

also since we also tried using sliders/ plastic sleds on the front to great effect ill add this too.

thanks!
