Exclamation Axle bearings

which axle bearings would be the best. this weekend we are replacing both sides of my t/a and was wondering which axle bearings are good and will last a long time. I work for autozone and just read a thread regarding autozone timken brand and he stated it started to leak just the same day it was replaced.
