Steel bearings are inexpensive and available from the high quality brands NSK and SKF. (about $15 for a single row and $50 for a double row)

Hybrid ceramic bearings apparently have an excellent reputation; you will need to do some research if you want to avoid Chinese bearings. Costs seem about triple that of steel.
