I'll probably go with the bearings from APE since they are a fraction of the cost of OEM which is just NTN/NSK bearings anyway. I inspected everything closer tonight and the only damage I can see is some slight burnishing on the shaft where the bearing sits. I can't feel any imperfection and the other bearing fits on there perfectly with zero slop.

IMHO as long as the debris is out and none of the gears are chipped I see no reason for it to not "go again" - could have been soooo much worse 
PS: what does the clutch look like after those 5th gear pull aways ?
