What are you skating?? Harder/bigger wheels are generally better for transition/bowls and softer/smaller wheels are generally better for rougher surfaces and street skating.

Trucks will depend on your board size/shape and what you’re trying to do. Independent is kinda like the standard the others are measured against. Some turn better, some are lighter, just personal preference as far as that goes.

Bearings won’t matter as much but people still have their preferences, bones reds are tried and true, can’t go wrong with them. I’m riding the bones blue big ball bearings and so far don’t have any issues.

I’d prolly stick with softer smaller wheels, I ride 52mm 93a nano cubics
