Bones Swiss regulars. They do the same job as ceramics.
Though ceramics are better and dont break really quick if you actually look after them.

any bones swiss or super swiss 6 and if your a noob reds work good
Here's a thought. Pro Model bearings are just as good as any basic ABEC 7 bearing you find in skate shops. Colored bearing walls are stupid, so stop it. You don't even see them.
Clean the bearing out with alcohol, let it sit in a bowl with just enough alcohol to clear the top of the bearing as it sits on it's side.
Dry it, then use a decent lubricant (NOT WD-40, if you think that's a good lubricant, you suck). And pow, you have skate quality bearings.
What makes stock bearings on scooters feel like shit in the first place is the fact that they use a very thick and low quality grease while being build out in China.
EDIT:
But if you want to waste your money. Black Panthers or PUSH bearings work pretty good.
You don't need Swiss Ceramics or $30+ bearings, stop being ridicuous.

I rode panthers back in the day, they were smooth but nowhere near as fast as bones swiss.

You're livin in a dream world, reds are stock abec 3s, again smooth but slow as fuck.
Either that or your friends are all riding stock 3s and telling you there swiss. Or your friends bath their swiss in chipfat.
I went from reds to stock 7s and i was airing twice as high straight away.
I then went from them stock 7s to some cheap "fracture" ABEC 9s and did the same thing, airing higher daily.
I then went from them 9s to bones swiss and haven't looked back since, they're by far the best bearing. Thats why they cost twice as much as anything else.
