Hex is nice, and some of those issues can be worked around. Hex stock from Mcmaster is cheap enough that I dont cringe about buying from them in a pinch. And for hex bearings, we've often used the "poor mans" hex bearing instead of buying specific hex ones for 3/8" hex shafts. We take a standard 1/2" FR8ZZ roller bearing and a bronze bushing. Broach the bronze bushing with a hex, and insert the bushing into the bearing.
