Lots of threads I have read have been tallking about how bearing has a weak spring and bursts easily.
Other threads have been talking about how some beys have horrible teeth and bursts often.
Huh?
What determines how much a bey bursts? The teeth or the spring?

Good question. So the driver is spring loaded and the slopes are supposed to hold onto the driver (and that is why when beyblades collide they click). When the slopes are unable to clamp on to the ridges on the driver the bey bursts and the teeth act as stoppers to the slopes from coming off of the driver ridges. To answer you second question it is both the teeth and the spring that determines burst resistance.

Cool, thanks!
Imperial has weak burst resistance because the teeth are unable to stop the slopes from sliding off from the driver ridges, and ‘ drivers help because the tighter springs help to clamp on to teeth and slopes (or so I believe)

Both.
The way driver to slope and driver to teeth contact works is as follows:
On a TT bey, the drivers have one tooth. That tooth is clicked past all the teeth before launch. When a spinning bey encounters resistance, the driver tooth may click or skip past one or more teeth towards the burst point. Driver teeth are universal, but layer teeth vary in spacing, placement, height, width, and even shape.
On a Hasbro bey, the drivers have one tooth, slightly shorter than TT driver tooth. That tooth is skid past the Hasbro layers slope before launch. When a spinning bey encounters resistance, the driver tooth may be forced down the slope towards the burst point. Driver teeth are universal, but layer slopes vary in length, angle, and shape.
On all beys, if a driver spring is weak, the driver tooth will hold onto the teeth or slopes badly, and be prone to bursting. If a driver spring is strong, the driver tooth will grip the teeth or slope on the layer with its own teeth stronger.
