Front hub assemblies

What are you guys running for front hub assemblies on Evo 8?
I plan on replacing both of mine but before spending the money on OEM I've been exploring other options. I drive my car less than 1000 miles per year so I've been contemplating going with a less expensive option if it makes sense. I work at a dealership (non mitsu) so I have access to lesser expensive options. The options I have readily available are napa proformer, master pro, and dorman. I would not run these on my personal car.
What I would run is skf or timken which I've learned are discontinued.
My question is, does anyone run MOOG, TRQ, or raybestos? Any other options anyone has had good luck with or do I just take the hit and buy OEM?
I searched on here and found nothing helpful other than older threads that suggest timken which are discontinued.
Thanks.

For a low seldom driven car, and if it's not making a buck load of power, I'd feel totally fine saving some coin and not going OEM.

I use and race with TRQ, even cheaper ones before. more autox tho. I have backups and replace them just because theyre rusty (maybe after 1.5-2 years)
Hubs are the same since 1995

It looks like the Timken 513133 was discontinued, too bad. It was an excellent hub/bearing assembly at a great price. Rock Auto is probably the best place to get aftermarket assemblies, the price can't be beat.

I just bought a Koyo one for $98 before I found this thread.

I use this website for all my OEM parts. Way cheaper and you can find almost everything OEM and OEM replacements.
