do i want clevite A,P, or H series bearings?

the car is going to be mostly a dd...its a stock crank that has been polished...the car will most likely never see a strip and is only a weekend warrior... my local internal engine parts shop said he recommends the p series bearings since the are better for a daily driver but i want you opinions before i buy.... he said the h series are for racing since the higher r's will wear out the bearing more...please give me your opinions.

The P bearings are your ticket. They are better for a daily driver of mild to moderate horsepower levels with a stock crank. They offer better embed-ability compared to the H bearings, and have more eccentricity to account for the higher distortion that happens in the stock parts.
