There are only three or four companies that make bearings. The rest are just rebrands of the them.

Most likely stay with FRPP.
I believe ford makes a HD version TOB, may be worth the extra cash over the normal TOB.

Once that is done, you will need The Jazzer's Super-Duper anti-fail catikismo TOB life-extender magneto trick, as seen in my T-56 swap thread.

Check it out for the mad hook-up, yo!

Most guys will recommend the FRPP HD one. From what I've seen, unless you do some sort of mod like a return spring for your clutch fork to bring the TOB of the fingers when the clutch is out, you will eat through whatever one you put in there.
