Thanks to everybody for the replies.
I take away from this discussion:
The bearing should be replaced only if it is noisy and/or appears
damaged upon inspection.
Otherwise, just keep it clean and packed with grease and it may run
forever.

MB techs don't use dial gauges to set wheel bearing - they'd be laughed out

problems with any I've done and I always check them after a bit of test
driving.
Setting them with a dial gauge didn't give me any better results
Of course, the real trick with setting wheel bearing end play on an MB
is not just owning a dial gauge, but owning one accurate enough to
measure 0.0001. That's 0.1mil. Bare in mind that most of the cheapy
(ala HF) gauges are only accurate in the 1mil range.
I've done both gauge and feel, and
