I think the main reason to go for rollers is the longevity of your hinges. Any
material you choose for rubbing pads will have much greater friction than rollers will.

(geek voice) Plus then, your thkirts will sound like tie-fighterth. That would be cool

Looks good so far. Looking forward to the next stage.
