Hub Bearings and Ball Joints

I need to purchase hub bearings and ball joints. What are the best (longest lasting, best quality) brands?

I have Timken hub bearings and they seem pretty high quality. MOOG for the ball joints. Stay away from Mevotech as they are a cheap chinese knockoff. Go to rockauto to check everything out. Their prices are pretty low....

I will never use another Moog lower ball joint. Why? Do a search on here in all open forums. Search on "lower ball joint". Use XRF for your lowers.

When talking to the guys at RockAuto on the phone they said that the Mevotech joints are cheaper feeling and made in China. JM2C....
