I assume you have had no issues with the bearings.
I had them out last week to set them up for use with the AEV CA drop brackets and they look like new. I'm really impressed with the product; they not only work well with no noise, they also don't seep any grease around the seal.

Beefy, flexy, quiet...pretty much covers it.

So, what's the difference between the TeraFlex and JKS control arms?

Teraflex uses a bonded rubber bushing on one end and on the other they use a Johnny Joint with a jam nut. The ability to offer more flex than a stock control arm is a function of the swivel in the Johnny Joint.
The JKS on the other hand uses bonded rubber bushings on both ends, and swivel is provided by the inner shaft rotating on very fine threads...swivel on that axis is unlimited. Also, they don't use, or need, a jam nut...nothing to come loose.
