So seems like the front drivers hub is about to let go on my Tahoe. Whats the current consensus. Moog, Timken, or Raybestos? Or is there another one I should look at?
GTM 800 Tahoe/Suburban Wheel Hub/Bearing?

Yup I buy from them sometimes. There is 10 different hubs to choose from so thats the reason for my question.

Moog's good, timken's good, buy the best quality you can afford. Unless you are cranked all the way, or make a habit of jumping a 6000-lb vehicle with your foot still in it, it doesn't matter much. The factory / OEM last a long damned time when not abused.
Ask BurbOne, he's been doing some real wheelin with his, has been thru several equipment changes. Or talk to CrazyDrei about what not to do.

I called the local stealer. No thanks. They've got the "GM" and the AC Delco. Neither of which are made by GM or AC Delco. I found out that AC Delco doesn't make the majority of their Stuff only some electronics. Its just another Branding exercise.
The AC has the same part no. as the Moog so Im pretty sure it is. The Timken is the best deal on Rock Auto so it'll do.

In my experience more of these replacements fail due to having the half shaft nut "torqued" with an impact gun than due to low build quality.

Also, considering you have enough wear to need a CV change, think about balljoint replacement. And even further, at rockauto you can get OEM-equivalent total replacement control arms with bushings and balljoints already installed, for all of about $300 for all four front control arms. Changing CVs would be a prime opportunity to change everything at once, if you can afford to. Basically everything for $500.
