Default What is the best replacement manufacturer for hub assembly?

Need to replace my front hub assembly. Dont want to go with a cheap duralast replacement....I traditionally replace all parts with ACDelco but wondering if there was a preferred manufacturer.
Thanks

I really like Timken. I think they have lifetime warrantys too.

Never had issues with a Timken. No lifetime warranty but they will last a hell of a lot longer than any of the cheaper brands.

I have been seeing guys on other w-body forums starting to go with SKF as the timkens that they have been using are not lasting that long. Just something to consider when doing your reasearch.

I just ordered skf bearings to replace my oem's at 91,000 miles. They are still tight but I'm getting an Abs code for the front right sensor.

Skf actually put "expected life span of 100,000 miles" if you check the rockauto.com online catalog...
