  2. Rubber seals are better for outdoor use. They seal out moisture better
    and they handle abuse better.

    Metal seals are an option for an indoor freestyle uni. Metal seals have
    less friction than the rubber seals. But they don't seal out moisture
    as well and if the seal gets bent or dented from abuse they are
    ruined.

    Go with the rubber seals.
