cup-and-cone vs sealed

Would a Shimano cup and cone hub be better for touring applications (heavy loads) rather than a 'sealed' none cup n cone type hub?

From what I understand the cup and cone type offer better strength for heavier loads?

Edit:
Sorry, when I say 'sealed' I meant cartridge type hubs. So for touring, when carrying a load, would cartridge hubs or cup and cone hubs be better?
