Greaseable tend to last longer..... provided you remember to grease them.

The argument is that non greasable is stronger because they don't have the grease channel in them. Witch is true but as long as you aren't drag racing, extreme off roading or heavy trailer pulling you should be fine with greasables. And all ways buy Spicers!
