I need to buy some wheel bearings for my camaro.

<ebay link deleted>

Thx.

You should have found that consensus is that a name brand bearing (like the Timken bearning you linked to) is the way to go. I have Timken's on my car and they have given me 5 years of trouble-free driving.
That being said, you should probably get these locally or through a reputable online dealer and not ebay.

Ah. eBay isn't so reliable for us here in the States. Have you tried a low cost direct supplier like RockAuto? I understand that they ship internationally and would expect that their shipping costs would be in line what an eBay seller would charge.

Is there any type of "performance" version of these hubs?
I just started getting a vibration from the front of my car after driving through some harsh Chicago streets yesterday. I believe it feels like the passenger front hub. When I turn the wheel left, I can feel it bind/vibrate a bit. When I turn the wheel right, the problem isn't there.
I noticed on Rock Auto, there's number of different hubs and they actually look different in the pictures.
-AC Delco
-Raybestos
-Moog
-Timken
-SKF

Not that I've seen. Timken and SKF actually make bearings, so they are going to be your best bet. The others will just be rebadged Timken's, SKF's, or worse...
To tell if your bearings are really the problem, you really need to get the wheel off the ground so you can manipulate it by hand.

My car went through lots of bearings on the front. Depending on your build and driving habits, that cantilevered front hub can be a weak design. I felt like once the original failed I couldn't keep good bearings on it. Even Timken and skf
To answer your question - is there a performance version?
I finally switched to third gen hubs. There are bearings inboard and outboard from the load, and they are serviceable, and the tires rotate freer in my opinion. It will cause ABS delete also, so it's a commitment.
