Default What Brand Hub?

Well I found out today my front right hub is bad. So I'll need to replace it here soon. What brand hubs does everyone use? My nephew was telling me you kind of get what you pay for with those.

Timken?
Moog?
Raybestos?
AC Delco?

The AC Delco is probably a little out of my price range but I see the others sell for under a $100 online. I don't wanna buy something ultra cheap that will go out in a year but I don't wanna break the bank either. I'm seeing a LOT of odd brands that I have never heard of. The four I listed I have at least heard of. So any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

I've used Timken on all my cars. If I have time I also buy them from rockauto.com.
