When you clean your bearings, inspect them for wear and tear. I would say to replace your bearings at least once a year ... just before the racing season starts. When you tear your car down for inspection, check the bearings and reoil.

Always keep extra bearings for your clutch bell (flanged and regular) since these take the most abuse from the engine. For the bearings in the hubcarriers, clean those after every day of racing. Lots of grit can get in there and destroy them.

I bought some BlueStar bearings for my NTC3 and have been happy with them so far. I picked them up just before our season ended here so I really don't have much time on them though. Like Diver said, keep extra clutch bearings on hand, I even have an extra one-way hub for my two-speed.
