I like the Federal Mogul bearings myself.

Whatever brand you get, I'd look for the oil hole that leads to the outside of the rod, for oiling the piston. I've heard that there is a brand out there that thinks this hole is not necessary, and doesn't have it. My opinion is that more oil on the piston and pin and cylinder walls has to be good. If I had bearings without the holes, I would have cut them in with a Dremel before installation.

Just my $.02, YMMV.
