Since both will provide a pivot for whatever is supported with limited or extended thrust travel, lets do the break down. Sleeved: Hardware screws available! Many thread, pitch, length sizes in various metals. Multiple tooling heads for installation (slot, Phillips, hex key) Cheap. Versatility.....greater. Sleeve can be used as a roller. Combination of materials. A stainless screw with brass, Delrin, wood sleeve. Time to make up...shorter, might need a hacksaw & file. May not need a lathe, tubing available. Shoulder: Expensive in limited size availability. More expensive to custom make (will need die set, hex stock). Time to make.....a few more lathe opps./ passes, if you lathe your own threads. Versatility.....lesser. If you need a socket head where your combination wrench won't go without removing 6 other parts from your project................Your vote is? ;D Dave.
