Re: Wheel bearings
The SKF (if made in South Korea) are highly regarded for the C4 application. I bought some for the fronts (F-Body ones because they were cheaper).

Re: Wheel bearings
Both Timken and SKF are fine.
I'm running SKF bearing hubs on the rear broached out to 31 splines for Mark Williams spindles. Here is the broached out SKF next to a stock ACDelco hub:

Re: Wheel bearings
I try to use Moog suspension bits and SKF bearings for the most part.

Re: Wheel bearings
For street use I think any major brand will be fine, although it appears Moog has a longer warranty (3 years).
For my application (autocross racing on big slicks), I've burned up all I've tried but am looking forward to trying Moog this year. The Moog part appears to have a different seal design and that looks to be my root cause of failure. It does seem most of the hubs are coming from one factory in China - I've had a litany of switched bits like a National flange on an SKF or other ident not matching its' box brand. At least they're easy to change, well at least until you machine things or use long studs. Cheers, - Jeff
