Pulse Vacuum Hubs - buy hubs with them or without?

Need to replace bearings, so I'm getting hubs... but they come in two versions with or without PVH and both say compatible... which ones to get? I have no idea what those things are and can't find any information on them. Will either work? Or must I get specific ones?
2000 B3000 SE 4WD here.

I googled through and through, zero information in this out there.

2000/1 was a change over year for Ranger 4x4s, you could have either in a 2000 Ranger 4x4

1998 thru 2000 4WD should have PVH automatic locking hubs, but previous owner may have switch them to Manual Hubs
In 2001 ALL Ranger 4WDs had Live Axle, always locked front hubs

1998-2000 hub images here: https://www.therangerstation.com/tec...y-replacement/
These are PVH version, have teeth on inside of hub to lock axle and hub together for 4WD

Live Axle just has an axle end that is threaded with a nut that holds the hub/bearings tight, like this: https://www.therangerstation.com/Mag...l_hub/AVM1.JPG
No, teeth on inside of hub, just a nut on end of axle shaft

So get the hubs that match what you have on your 2000
