Re: Synthetic grease?

We took our "new" (to us) '92 on its first road trip today, and I noticed rumble from the rear that increases and decreases directly with speed. After 250 miles, I'm fairly certain the noise is louder than when we first noticed it at the beginning of the run.
Assuming the notorious rear wheel bearings are the culprit, I have 3.5 questions:
(1) Are the Subaru bearings the only ones available, and if not, are they the best bet? (vs Fafnir et al)
(2) Any experiences packing them with synthetic grease?
(3) Is there a FAQ somewhere that explains all this in detail?
Thanks,

I am not sure what the aftermarket bearings cost but at $68 from the dealer, about 75ish with the seals. I think it's a resonal amount for a suby part.
