Theres no such thing as upgraded bearings. Many run OEM or ACL. Ive never heard bad things about either. Id say the clearance is more important than the brand.

supposedly ACL's are all made by the same manufacturer as honda's. thats what i read somewhere. who knows, but the quality is supposed to be the same.
