you should have zero issues with the OEM seals and wipers.
If you really want to treat your bike, and hurt your wallet, buy 43mm SKF seals and wipers. They are the best seals out there.

I'd stay away from all balls for seals. Bearings, and bearings seals should be ok.

Stick with OEM. I've ran into some All Balls seals that were just a few thousand larger than OEM and they can be hell to get in.

SKF seals and OEM bushings. The bushings Race Tech sells are actually just the OEM so nothing gained over OEM there.
