Default Need to replace wheel hubs

I have a 2004 Z06 that I track quite a bit. I'm replacing the control arm bushings with polyurethane but I also have a bad wheel bearing(front right). I understand the GM hubs are very good and then there are the racing hubs that are much better but also a lot more expensive. Is there something inbetween that would make a difference?

I've never found anything in between and I've looked. If your tracking the car regularly the SKF bearings are well worth it.
