Bearings?

I have 75,xxx miles on this ls1 and have the motor pulled for a heads cam swap. When I pulled the cam, It had a little wear from two of the bearings. #2 and 3. I have decided that I have a lot of work into this car since i upgraded the suspention, rebuilt tranny,brakes, exhaust, intake ect.. that I didnt want to half *** it! Since I have the motor out and oil pan off, I think its a good idea to have the block hot tanked, honed and new bearings put in right?

What it boils down to, What bearings are recommended? I have searched and read as much as I can find thus far. I know I want coated bearings because I want them to last. Give me some feedback guy.

I have hot cam, 5.3 heads ported polished with 1.8 stainless roller rockers. Comp chromoly push rods 915 springs ect. Intake and exhaust as well. This is it. Not sure what kind of power im putting down but I want to be able to start it up and drive it and not worry about it. Looking for reliability mainly. I want to motor to last with what I have done to it.
