Cheers

I'd say definitely lose the rubber mount and use the bearing. reduces the chance of iva man saying there too much wiggle in the column, plus it's just a better engineered solution I think. it's not a big job to fit the bearing, I did mine a couple of week ago.

edit, plus the bearing is about 7 quid. so hardly breaking the bank!
