Go for something sealed (s-8 is sealed).

If you want something really really awesome go for ceramic. These don't rust and run alot smoother than steel balls. Steel balls are still extremely smooth though so don't worry about that. And if they do rust (over time) I'm pretty sure you can replace the bearing cartridges.

s-8 is good but there almost exactly the same as the s-3.
The only difference is less than 2 grams of weight, price ($10 - $20), and that the bearings on s-3 are black oxide, and the s-8's are stainless steal.
Supposedly the s-8's are meant to be a tiny un noticeably smoother and better.
But if your looking to save a bit of dosh s-3's are dope.
