Default Bronze Valve Guides Vs OEM Guides

Whats up everyone. New here to this board. I know there are a lot of knowledgeable people here. Could someone please post their opinions or experiences with bronze valve guides versus oem stainless steel guides. From what I gather, the bronze guides reduce friction between the valve stem and guide correct? Bronze is softer than stainless steel as well so in turn that means the bronze guide would wear quicker than the oem ones reducing the life of it. Let me rephrase this part, what are the pros and cons of using them? TIA, lates...

EDIT: Sorry for the vague question, I rephrased it.
