Even though I'm going to let Paul order the parts, he seems to be open to any input I want to give him about things even though he may not act upon it. So, I'd still like to get anyone's recommendations of brands and sources for bearings so I can tell him in case he wants to check it out.
Any suggestions?

I always preferred Clevite 77 inserts which i think is now called Michigan 77. I have used them in my own engines that i knew needed the crank turned to be perfect and i ran them till the rings were wore out, and they never came apart. I also preferred Hsting steel rings.
