PBS. Less parts to break and wear out.

PBS is nice since it allows infinitely precise adjustments without swapping any parts. The main downside is parts wear. Pillowballs and the plastic uprights can wear over time resulting in binding and play. Its uncommon on 1/8 scales, but pillowballs can also bend in a bad crash. Lastly, pillowball suspension is almost always more unsprung weight compared to the c-hub counterpart.

In my book, the only advantage to a pillowball suspension would be the adjustments but at the same time, you almost need a set up board to get everything exact.

Also, i'm not real sure about this ... maybe atm can shed some light? But I thought someone told me a C-hub would make a tighter turning radius as well?

I've never heard of that. It probably depends more on ackerman and how much travel is designed into the part rather than the type of suspension.

ill have to check that cause ive recently changed from PBS to c-hub suspension. And i found that its much easier to setup c-hub suspension, and PBS is hard when assembling, also its hard to tell when the uprights are tight enaugh, loose or too tight.

keep in mind that paul coleman himself uses the non-pbs/pcr version
