We definitely will have the 6 holes on a 1.875" pattern, which is what our polycarbonate omni-wheels and our Traction Wheels have. We were thinking to have a 1.124" hole in each side plate, for mounting a 1/2" id flange bearing, but if most people want to use 3/8" bearings, we can do a 0.874" hole. Now is the time to give us input on this.

Personally, I prefer the 3/8" shaft. I've built two robots this way with no complaints, and the compatability with the Kitbot is handy. (Of course, YMMV.)
On the other hand, you can get bearings with the right OD and ID off of McMaster-Carr. Perhaps offering both sets of bearings would do the job?
