I almost always end up on the "aviation grade" part side of the fence...
The McMaster-Carr bearings are a very high quality bearing and they only
cost $7.10 each. I don't have an Aircraft-Spruce version but I wouldn't be a
bit surprised is they were identical.

The other thing I did was to use a large area washer on either side of each
bearing that's a little smaller than the OD of the bearing.
