All bearings aren't created equal, OEM, ***, and SKF are all solid, there are others as well, do what your comfortable with.

We use *** brand bearings in our "kit". SKF is good as well. Not sure I'd pay the premium to get it in a Porsche box.

I'll vouch for Paragon Products. I have purchased speed and reference sensors from them at a great savings.

You usually can't go wrong with original Porsche parts.

You should use a synthetic beating grease on the install. Here's an article I wrote about the types of grease.
