The key word in your question is "Best". Before anyone can answer that question for you, you first have to decide which bearing solution is "best" for you, as there are more than several options and as many opinions.
Many people on here believe that the LN "IMS solution" is the best one. But it comes at a very steep price just for the parts. So much so that at $1849.00, parts alone cost over half as much as a used motor. So, you'd have to decide for yourself whether you're comfortable with the cost v. risk ratio.
I have a tiptronic, single row IMS. IF, and that's a big if, I decide to replace it, I'd probably go with an OEM replacement. Although I'm still curious about the cylindrical bearing. But that's my decision, you'd have to decide which replacement is best for you.
This guy makes a very good argument, even though he came to a slightly different conclusion than I did:
