SKF racing bearings are supposed to be the best now. A few vendors sell it, as well as Rockauto. I have no idea about Moog wheel bearings, but I'd like to find out.

I just help a friend change the rear bearing from a timken to a Moog. The timken had about 1200 mile and had failed. I looked at the two hubs and visually they are exactly the same. Timken uses timken bearings and moog uses timken or ngc bearings.This was from speaking with customer services. Also the Moog has a different bearing seal that suppose to be better sealing than the timken.

I went with the Timken....

FWIW I ordered mine through Autozone online and picked up in store right away...saved 20%

so if you have an AZ near you....

I think Advanced Auto parts carries Moog and you can do the same thing

The bearing is pressed inside a HUB ASSY and is replaced as a sealed unit front and rear

The wheel speed sensor can be removed BUT,, is not sold as a seperate replaceable part. :

REAR HUB




FRONT HUB and removed sensor:
