Default Good hubs/wheel bearing?

Is there any good brand out there for hubs/wheel bearing? After talking to sever people I think I have it nailed.I have a squeak coming from my drivers side front. Just so I don't get jumped to bad my truck is a 01 1500 4x4 5.9. I think while I'm doing it I might as well get a passenger side one and do it so its done and pick up a book and get to learn my truck better. Haynes manual it is or whatever pepboys has. This is what I was looking at.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WBI-515038/

I like the US made bearings. Timken, SFK, etc. They are much much better than Chinese junk.
I got the Timken's for $180 each at local store.
Rockauto has the Timken for $168.
SKF's are a lot more, $200+

don't forget your 1-11/16 socket. its expensive.

also - since you have to remove the calipers and pads, its a good time to put on new pads.
