Pro II front are common as muck on ebay, lots of different types at all sorts of different quality. Last time i got some i got from Keasea's ebay shop.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hope-Pro-2-hub-bearings-kit-front-performance-upgrade-/130529564257?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item1e642b1661

Over the last year they have been faultless.

For the FSA Pig Headset bearings i am not sure where will be best for the loose bearings.

Look on the bearing for the number, google it and see what you get. They could well be available cheaper when not being sold by a bike brand.

UKbikestore's Hope bearing kits always seem pretty damned good value for a decent branded (INA) bearing.
I usually buy branded bearing from my local bear supplier, I would not buy cheap unbranded bearings.

Pro II front:
£16.34 from Kaesae's,
£15.90 from UKbikestore (stainless steel too)
both should be INA bearings (or FAG from K)

Both of these are approximately the same price as my LBS (local bearing supplier)

Nope you need all 5 for the rear hub (3 in the freehub & two in the actual hub) & there all different sizes to the front hub.
I only know cause I've been looking into bearing support tools...
