Front Wheel Bearing Set Recommendations?

I'm looking for a good set of wheel bearings, but there are a lot of options and part numbers.

I would like to use the best quality possible.

Anyone have any recommendations and part numbers? I would need the seal also.

I use Timkens on my Toyota, but can't find a set for Ford. I know they make them but their part numbers are everywhere and are confusing.

Thanks.

Edit: This is for a 96 E150

Timken and National are good brands. Both available on ROCKAUTO.com

i recently bought the cheapest no-name from Oreilly as a temporary solution and 400miles later there's no issues.

I used to use Timken only, if possible. However, since most if not all of their bearings are no longer manufactured in the US, but in India or China, I prefer KOYO, Japanese NSK or German *** bearings.

I have seen a *** factory in Indiana.( No I'm not joking.)
that would be cool if they are American-made
