Cool Blocks AND/OR/VS roller guides?

I'm rebuilding/setting up my 14" import BS and was wondering what to use. I had some inexpensive roller guides, but yesterday I scored four cool blocks at a flea market for 50¢.

I'm mostly interested in using the BS for resawing (1/2" 3tpi blade).

Any preferences? Anyone ever mixed them up, as in roller on top, cool blocks on bottom, or vice versa?

Curious, H.

I like the roller guides on wider blades and prefer the cool blocks on very narrow blades, as there is less chance of damaging the blade from running them too close to the working edge. Top vs bottom? Can't say as that would enter into my decision to use a particular type of guide.
