If the OP (boxster) has any reservations regarding the LN dual row ceramic upgrade, I fitted mine way back in 2010 - I must have been one of the first in Australia to take the plunge. While not cheap (about $3,500 at the time).
I had past experience with ceramic bearings in large (1.2Mw) electric motors which, with their standard SKF steel ball / roller bearings, were giving temperature overheating problems under continuous heavy loads. We did a lot of investigative experiments with various lubricants and bearing combinations but finally decided on ceramic's. The overheating and wear (brinelling) never occurred again.
As far as I am concerned, you cannot go wrong with the LN ceramics....
