I like Centric (not their lower tier C-Tek stuff tho) and I like Timken and SKF as well.
When I built the race car I installed Timken P/N HA590518 on the fronts and Centric 40147002 on the rear. I recently RE-ordered the same front TIMKEN hubs from Rock auto and was surprised at how different they were:
In the pic below is the same P/N one purchased early 2019 and the one on the right just recently.
Pick Centric, Timken or SKF and be confident. Since this is a daily and rust is a concern I say...
A) Good luck getting off what's on there
B) put a water resistance or rust prohibiting interface on the surfaces (copper antiseize, wd40, rust inhibitor..something) before bolting up the new one so if you have to do this again, they will come apart much easier.
