Wheel hub/bearing assembly question

I need to replace my front hub assembly. Auto Zone has Duralast brand for around $250, Timken & Moog for around $250 and I found some on Rock Auto for as low as $50 made by Value Pro and Dura International. Does anyone have any opinions on Value Pro/Dura International? I'm trying to not skimp on things but also don't want to pay an arm and a leg for the stuff because I also have to change out the strut and do full brakes/rotors so I am on a budget. Any recommendations?

From personal experience, I would say moog would be your best bet. Value pro and dura I have never heard of, and duralast is autozone's generic brand and between them all, well I would say moog, SKF, and acdelco are better brands with better build qualities. Wheel bearings are not something you want to do again i assume. Rock auto has a acdelco wheel bearing and hub for about $100. I even found a Moog version for about $120.

Hope this helps.

Do not get the autozone branded bearings, they are likely Mevotech and poor quality.

aFe gave good recs on the brands to buy, and i'll add Timken
