What are Drivetec like? They come in at around £90 for the rear, while FAG are about £140. Ive replaced Disks and pads before so I think I can probably cope with a hub, unless there are any special tools needed?
The old saying... "You get what you pay for." The £50 extra you pay for that FAG wheel bearing will be worth it. You don't want to be doing the job twice.

SKF or FAG are far better than Drivetec. Personally, I use SKF.

These bearings are a pressed in type. Pretty sure you need a press tool to get the old one out and put the new bearing in. If you haven't got the tool, you won't be able to do it.
