If bearings were not the answer over bushings in water pumps, all of the pumps made today would still be using bushings. Also the bearings are sealed so the grease stays in and the dirt stays out. Much less friction over a bushings.Get pumps with bearings and the modern seals. Even Ford had bearings in their later pumps.
