Hey James
if you haven't done your hubs yet, you can get Ceramic bearings for them. www.ceramicspeed.co.uk do a bunch of every type of best quality bearings ( made by SKF under licence for Ceramicspeed) - none of the cheap chinese junk there.
Last 10-20 times longer than steel bearings too.

+lighter +stronger +smoother (less friction).
But . . .
On potential problem with the hardness of ceramic bearings is that instead of the bearings taking the wear (and then you replace them) - the races take the wear and then you must replace the hub !
