Question Choosing New Hub Bearings:

-Ok so its time for new unit bearings on my 30 (again), & while i would go with timkens: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1119320 the same website lists another hub that seems better then the timken: http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1842052 but ive not heard of them. So based on the links above & the info they give from the RockAuto.com website, which should i go for?? Oh & the Timkens are $80 bucks & the SKF's are $100 so the prices are both good!!

Thanks!!

last ones i bought are skf.
don't really see much of a difference between timken and skf.
both should have lifetime warranty.

here, the skf are about 200 each and the timken is about 165.
