I’m about to pull the trigger on an SKF drive shaft, as I couldn’t find GKN. From what I’ve read they are a premium OE manufacturer, made Sweden I believe.
Pros: premium OE manufacturer

People like the Stewart water pump, but since that's harder to get in Europe, I went with an skf pump and it's been fine so far.
Pros: fine so far
Vehicle:
BMW
I also bought my wishbones / control arms from skf and they work fine.
Pros: work fine
I drove my 2012 V50 from late 2021~165 000km to present day 300 000km with skf discs and pads with no problem. Ordered a new set from Aeromotors (EU, EST) ~70€.
Pros: no problem, good durability
Vehicle:
Volvo V50
Mileage: 135000 km
I put SKF on my car in 2021 and about 25k miles later I am running just fine on them. I had bad luck with OEMs not lasting and that is why I changed over to SKF.
Pros: running just fine
Cons: OEMs not lasting
Vehicle:
Dodge Dart
Mileage: 40233 km
Rear wheel hubs ordered, went with the SKF branded ones.
Pros: SKF branded
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
I replaced mine (on an Opel Agila) and bought them from SKF. SKF is a very renowned bearing manufacturer so you can't go wrong with that brand if they sell them for your model.
Pros: renowned manufacturer, reliable brand
Vehicle:
Opel Agila
As for pump, SKF tends to do well.
Pros: reliable performance
Vehicle:
BMW
Went with a kit from SKF this time, seems a bit beefier, still plastic...
