Default Bandsaw Blade Guides

I’m wondering what y’all like for bandsaw blade guides. I’ve been using cool blocks, but I find they wear too quickly and don’t really provide that much resistance to blade twisting.

Also, the original setup on my saw has always seemed a little sloppy; the entire guide assembly for the upper guides shifts a bit when you tighten the thumbscrew for the upper guide assembly.

I’m considering Carter bearing guides since they replace the entire guide assembly.
I also hear good things about ceramic guides. What are everyone’s favorites?
My saw is a Delta 14” if that matters.

Thanks for any guidance.
