Whats the best bearing to get and does it really matter? Would be grateful for any input from those who obviously have more knowledge than me on this topic.

What's the best bearing to get and does it really matter?

This is a little off topic, but here’s an explanation of what’s going on with that “Wagon Wheel“ effect. The illusion of slow, slowing, stopped, or reverse spinning due to coinciding frequency rates between the rotating spokes and the frame capture rate of a camera, or the strobe rate of a light, are well understood. More interesting is when you see this in real life, where there is no frame capture rate or flickering or strobing light. You can often, for example, see this effect in real life on car wheels when driving down the freeway. That’s in plain, continuous sunlight.
