Default Powertap Rebuild Q (ceramic)

I need to replace the bearings in my 2005 Powertap Pro hub.
Which companies make good, affordable ceramic bearings?

I'll leave whether or not ceramic makes sense to another day BUT be sure you use a bearing press, not a mallet or anything like that when you install the bearings. Altho fairly robust when riding, the electronics seem very suseptible to damage if you pound, rather than press, bearings into this hub.
