Recommended unit bearing?

So one of the (many) reasons the jeep failed is for a bad unit bearing. What brand do you guys recommend? I've gone with Napa in the past but I don't think this one has been in there all that long.

Kurt recommended that I get Timken unit bearings due to their higher quality. I've only had them in since August, but they seem to be fine.

Cool, thanks! I've purchased Timken for other bearings in the past, but some of the Amazon reviews said the Timken's were knock offs. Anyone recommend a good vendor?
