J&L stuff generally decent quality right? Looking at one of these, mostly because its the cheapest GXP bb I've found

Will ceramic wear out faster than steel bearings? I don't care about watts

I think I asked tester about these (or similar) a while back and got a resounding "wouldn't touch them with a bargepole", suggesting ceramic bearings of unknown provenance and likely cheap/poor quality are almost certainly worse than regular bearings from a known brand.
