Linear rails preload for delta ?

I'm looking to get some linear rails for a delta but I've read some conflicting things about the preload they should have.
I mostly some saying it should have a light preload for precision but others say that it should have no preload for smooth movement on a belt. If someone could clear this up for me it would be much appreciated.

As for the part numbers there are no links so I didn't look them up. However make sure the bearings you buy have facilities for lubrication. A good lubrication system has a significant impact on the lifespan of any bearing.
