Bad Wheel Bearing

Car is at 78,500 miles. I'm starting to hear a bit of moaning/humming noise coming from the front at 40mph+. When I sway the car from side to side the sound changes so I think its the wheel bearing, but I haven't had a chance to jack it up and check for play yet. I guess this could be one of the downfalls of having spacers :(

For those who have replaced the wheel bearings before, what brand did you go with? OEM is so damn expensive compared to some of the other brands. Is it really worth it or will a Vaico or KMM or F A G be fine? I plan on replacing it myself when I change out the rotors and pads in the coming weeks.

Thanks for all the input. Not sure which way I wanna go, but if F A G is indeed the OEM brand then I will go with them.
