Default C70 T5 2007 - a few bits needed

Evening all, just looking for some advice on my recently-acquired C70. I think I bought pretty well, but as expected there are a couple of things needing rectification:

A front wheel bearing assy. I like SKFs because quality, but anyone got any other views on that, and where's the cheapest place to buy?

A pair of front lower control arms. Looking at these they betray their Ford origins, being pressed steel, I notice. I'm sure they are perfectly functional, but everyone like a bit of alloy casting, don't they?
Any recommendations regarding brands & suppliers - bearing in mind the Focus (IIRC, correct me if not!) shared origins, are Ford branded arms any cheaper, does anyone know?

I will speak to Volvopartstrade to see what they can do for me, too, btw, because blue box must be better, mustn't it?

Thanks in advance
