Narrower h series bearings won't hurt anything on stock cranks. Less contact area means less rotational friction, but less oil cushion to ride on. As long as your bearing clearances are right, you won't have a problem.
The H Series also have higher bearing crush and a better eccentricity profile than the passenger car bearings. There is supposed to be another P Series, besides the passenger car bearings, that allows the engine builder to adjust the eccentricity profile.
Go to the link, everything you ever wanted to know about bearings is in the bearing school link, I was amazed,

It was cool, on the nascar history section, they talked about how nascar put a limit on the width of the bearing, and how some teams had bearing .250 wide, they basically said that if the bearing where not wiped out by the end of the race they where to wide,
I wish I had that kind of money,
