What pilot bearing do you recommend?

Just as it says, what pilot bearing do you guys recommend to use for my V8/T5? It won't see a ton of power or anything, so I'm not looking for the most expensive thing in the world, but I don't wanna install something that will burn out in a couple of years. If you have a part number or link, it would be appreciated!

Not sure if it matters, but it will be a V6 T5.

I just get the bushing from autozone or what have you. Make sure its all cleaned up and slap a little grease in there call it good. I dont like the bearings I have had a few fall apart and cause trouble.

bushing - not bearing. Never had a bearing hold up like the bushing.

Yeah I just use the bronze bushing. Most clutches seem to come with one anyway.
