The only variations in bearings you have are brands.
Quality wise you work from European (Timken, Torrington, Skf, Grimace) Then its your Japanese brands (Nachi, NSK, NTN, koyo). then chinese.
Your GQ (if its disk rear) runs a expensive bearing assembly in the rear so you dont have many options of who makes them.
For the conditions your going to be running them in preventative maitenence is the key, your main problem is going to be seals. As soon as they start wearing out your going to flog out your bearings. If you remove flush and repack your bearings regulary and replace the seals you will have years of hassle free rolling.
A workmates father still has the original wheel bearings in his 77 fairlane, because every twelve months, he removes, flushes and repacks the grease and changes the seal.
