Caged vs loose bearings? Final verdict.

Ok I have my 1985 Sequoia's bottom bracket apart and I'm just waiting for bearings to
come in the mail. There seems to be dispute over which is best, loose or caged bearings.
The bearings that came out of the bike were caged and both cages are in good shape.
So should I use the cages or put them in loose? If I put them in loose do I add additional
bearings? The ones that came out have 11 1/4 in bearings in them.
