Sorry for you, mate.
I think that changing a crankshaft is a bad expectation, because the job is pretty massive and pricey.
On the other hand, your crank may still be flawless, and just an RB change could do the job.
Don't wait for specific bearing brand. If the crank is good, go for the easier to find. ACL H or HX with ARP Bolts should be easy to find and cheap solution.
Sure you'd want BE Bearings on your engine, but you don't know what's coming after the job, so don't put too much effort (awaiting time) and money on it.
If you change the RBs now, I'm pretty sure you will want to check them again in like 5k or 10k miles, right? Then you get the BE bearings.
Should any member remember here, there was a guy in this board that had a scored crank and didn't try anything about changing it. Just changed the RBs and drove.
The engine survived a lot of miles, like 5k or so, and we never heard of him again to say that it died. It may not have yet. Who knows.
Thing is:
Will a crank replacement really save the engine? Or may you replace it and after that still have any problem related to the previous RB failure like metal shavings in the galleries? In that case you'd need a new engine.
If the only option is a new engine, then I would totally try only changing the RBs for now.
