I need to read Sandeeps article.
But I prefer to stick with Porsche bearings just because they are a common part (cheapish) and you can get good "made in Germany" quality.
FWIW I think the front early 944 hubs use the same front bearings as the split Bus. No kidding. When I did my '66 Westi the kit said I could go either way and it would be fine. A visual inspection showed at least the outer bearings looked identical.
