Any recommendations?
I replaced mine with some cane creek ones from crc, can't remember the specific model but they're identical and dare I say it look better, all for half the cost of one hope bearing.
Edit these are they

Presuming this is for the newer design where the bearings are loose in the cups (not the older ones where they are pressed in).
There are 2 versions of the Cane Creek ones (s3/s8 bearings I think), stainless and not stainless. Hopes are stainless. Crown races cane also be interchanged. Don't know of any other alternatives.
