Never had a bearing spin in a V8. I had rod bearings spin twice in a V6 with the cam and mains surviving with no signs of damage.

Depends on the engine. On Mopar RBs it's #7 rod EVERY time. On Ford Kent 1.6 engines it's #2 or #3 rod. I forget what the pattern failure is on the Cleveland block, but I know there is one. On very few engines will you lose a main before you lose a rod, nature of the oiling pattern.
