What do Coated Bearings do over non Coated Bearings?

They only help in cold starts only.

If the parts are machined correctly and all clearances are right, there is no need to coat the bearings since they already run on an oil hydrodynamic film.

My preference is to run coated cam bearings and non-coated mains and rods.

IMO coated bearings really shine when the oil pressure is funky, like when you run low oil levels for performance reasons and maybe the oil pressure will hop around (low) during the run a coated bearing will outperform hands down. In a nut shell, a bearing coating is there because of it's wear resistance.
