i would get some good old randels or bear grizzlies befor i got those other trucks
as for bearings, if your just carvin and cruzing, just get cheap bearings
and i have to say, dont get 97mm flys haha
not because i dont like Abec, they are just too big and pointless,
for cruzin you want like a 75mm
ive herd good things about the new freerides and the oldschool freerides with the non reflex urathane

Bones bearings and regular abec 7 bearings are good and cheap and do the trick. They'll fit in any skate wheel too, the only difference is in the size of the hole in which the axle fits into. Both original trucks and randals are 8mm axles so any regular bearing will fit.
I haven't used Original trucks but I'm pretty sure they have a different drill pattern so can't mount them on any board (not too sure)
Hope it helps!
