Shopping around is good. We have a Purvis type bearing store and sometimes the automotive stores can get them as you are saying. We have a family owned farm/welding shop that manages to have most disk and other bearings right on the shelf and reasonably priced.
I stick with one of the name brands: SKF (owns MRC), NTN (owns Bower), Timken, FAG, Koyo, Nachi, or Fafnir.
Country of origin is getting tricky as the big guys are opening plants in China etc. Also there are fake bearings floating around out there, look-a-likes that are marked with a brand name but made with inferior metallurgy. Supposedly SKF is the most faked brand with a lot of Timken fakes as well. They've caught some distributors unknowingly selling fakes. There's plenty of info just a google search away.
The last bearing I bought from the IH dealer was simply a repackaged Bower. IH used to make their own bearings decades ago. All part of the corporate game.
