To a certain point you only get what you pay for. A few years ago I purchased some end links for our Jeep Grand Cherokee as they were about 1/2 the price of Moog. One lasted 3 months and the spot welds broke. Replaced both with Moog and no problems. Not hard to do, so if you want to save money go for one, as the Timkem, BCA, and SKF are $75/$105.

If you don't buy OE then buy if from a part retailer that will back it with a LLT warranty that way if it goes bad again you just take it in for a new one at no charge.

Hub bearings don't go that often, I would get oem just to be safe.

Life time warranties can be a damn joke sometimes, I had a starter on my last car go 4x times in 6 years the part had a lifetime warranty so i didn't have to pay but got stranded 2 of those times and had to take it out and install the new one 4x. I'd rather buy a quality part with no warranty than a crappy part with a lifetime warranty.

Napa starter? yeah.. I don't mess around with starters or alternators.. I take them to my alternator rebuilder. He's seen some napa starters and it'll be a new case / housing, but the overseas mfg who they use insert used carbonized coils inside and then push them into the market. Clean on the outside, black on the inside. Hub bearings shouldn't be a big problem..
