You can use either one if it's a Scat or Eagle crank.

The HN bearing is narrow and is usually only used on crankshafts with .125" radii, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to use it on a small radius crank.

It comes down to how much money you wanna spend on bearings. The H series bearings can rack up some cash.

What you may find is that the bearing clearances aren't what you want them to be, so you can mix/match either standard/.001" or standard/X bearings to dial in the clearances. When you're having to buy two sets of H series main bearings, that can get pretty expensive.
