SKF gives a very general comparison of tapered vs ball bearings but does not go into some crucial details of the application. They actually do use the word "cumbersome" to describe the difference between tapered vs ball bearings and that is where the difference in feel comes in. Regardless, the experts in this particular application would be a very successful MotoGP team, not me. And this directly addresses the OP's question: Tapered bearings can be more durable, but at the expense of feel. There is always a compromise when making a choice.
BTW, the All Balls cross-reference list is very valuable for finding the bearings that you need to swap front ends. I have used them myself.
