Moog kingpins

I'm getting ready to do some suspension work on the '76 F100 I recently bought. I was looking at Moog kingpins and there are 2 that are for my application. One has nylon bushings and the other are steel. Forgive my ignorance but what are the advantages/disadvantages of one over the other?

The nylon bushing can be installed without a reamer but they don't last very long. 20 -30K miles in my experience, sometimes less. The others will last 100k but you have to ream them to fit the pin. The fit has to be right or you have wasted your time and money.

Thanks. What is the fit for the steel bushings? I'll just go that route and have a local machine shop ream the fit on them.
