What are the pro and cons of each type of Joints on A-arm's, ball joints, king pins and heim joints ?

I've had balljoints and I have had heims. The heims were nice, they did handle slightly better than the ball joints however, the heims did require more maintenance and more replacing. I could get about 4 or 5 rides and I had to replace my heims and I greased them every ride. I now have the ball joints and they are better, less maintenance and the handling is very close to that of a heim joint front end.
