I have ceramic bearings on the deraileur sprockets on my bike and have seen no wear after hundreds of miles, no lubrication. I cant say traditional bearings have lasted this long on my bike, even though this is a completely different situation than a water loop.

My mag 3 has been running for years now, no play on the impellor shaft as of yet, still very smooth and round. The impellor seems to have no wear either. I'd say it is safe to say that ceramics are the way to go.
