I got 3 different brands of swingarm bearings, all 3 are different
All balls has a thrust washer instead of a thrust bearing
Diamond racing has a larger pivot bearing and a 1 peace race
The other is stock cannondale
What is the best?

Looks like any one will serve your purpose. I like the looks of the Diamond. It looks greasable,but I think you would have to install zerks to service.
I just put stock on mine ,but won't ride near as much or hard as you do.

If I remember right they were a site sponsor back in the old days
I bought a few parts off them back then
I don't know if that style of kit is still available

Stick with stock, went though 4 sets of all balls in a month and a half, and the diamond racing is also garbage and inner race is made from soft steel that eats it self right up. Diamond racing is by far worse than all balls. If inner sleeves are still good buy INA bearings, they hold up very good.
