Bearings are designed to reduce friction. Friction forces are directional so the type of bearing usually depends on the direction of the load. The shape of the arm and the way it needs to move will also matter. Some types of bearing need parts to be more accurately machined than others. In short you will need to provide a lot more info before a recommendation can be made.
