The collet type would not be my first choice for a normal wheel bearing.

In addition to what Peter said, you would also need to carry a slide hammer to use the blind bearing removers. Therefore, the blind bearing removers are actually less compact than the split collet and driver. On the trail side you can always use a rock instead of a hammer.
