I remember a few years back...90's someone had a first gen hub that ran a larger outer bearing. I tried searching around but can't seem to find it here. I believe it was Herb Adams could be wrong.

Tobin makes a billet hub but I am unsure what bearings are used.
On my '67, Maeco used either second gen hubs or SCP hubs on a custom spindle that had the big outer bearing. At the time, Mike really felt that was critical on the race applications. I don't think I've ever seen a first gen throw a shoe though, but I'm sure it's been an issue here and there.
