What is the best bearing brand for the hub assembly? I was leaning towards Timken. And where is the best place to buy them?

I bought Timken bearings for mine.. I'm a big Timken fan but we'll see how long they last.

Just put Timken hubs in a couple of weeks back. Nicely made, good attention to detail. So far, so good!
