Gimbal bearing is the winner, and FR pretty much hit the price right on the head....

Gimbal bearing should be less expensive to replace than the u-joints. So, good for you, I guess?

Nothing noticeable, but I am religious about keeping the coupler greased, I doubt it's had any metal to metal contact since I have owned the boat.
