Default Advice needed on flanged full floating bearings

From what I can tell these bearings were offered in these different types:
Nickel cadmium, Tin base babbitt, Lead base babbitt, and copper lead base.
Is there a preference as to which type to use in a stock 36 engine or does it
even matter?
Thanks

It might matter if you are an engineer, racer, or just generally anal. I would use any I could find.

I think the copper and nickel base were for heavy duty applications . youll be lucky to find anything in a size you need
