Wheel bearing shop cost? OEM part only?

I'm taking my '06 X5 3.0i into the shop (indy) today to get quote on replacing the front right wheel bearing. I'm about 90% sure it's going (play in right wheel when jacked up and heavy road noise that sounds like engine braking even when in neutral but dissipates slightly around right bends).

Anyhow, did a quick search and:
1. Seems like this is not worth a DIY especially since I don't have the necessary tools
2. Costs others have paid seems to vary quite a bit

What can I expect in terms of cost/labor hours (ballpark)? Should I insist on genuine BMW replacement? Pelican parts has the bearing for $95 so I know general cost there. Does the hub usually require replacement as well? Thanks!
