Toasted rear wheel bearing

At a recent autocross I toasted a rear wheel bearing, or at least I'm pretty sure I did. There is about a 1/2" of play all around on the wheel with it jacked up(pretty easy to move too), and the spindle/caliper is staying perfectly still.

They are Z32 NA rear hubs and came out of a pretty low mile car(I think maybe 80k miles, and I've probably put 9-10k on there) so I'm thinking this might have been a fluke, but they do see pretty hard usage since I'm rarely just driving this car on the street.

What's the best way to change it out? Get a new hub from Nissan? Get a new bearing and press it in(OEM or get it somewhere else?)? Get some cheap Chinese made hubs off Ebay?
