Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

The "standard" for quality bearing balls for bicycle use is "Grade 25" and these are precise enough in all dimensions that mixing them from lot-to-lot should be perfectly fine. The less precise Grade 200 balls are adequate and batch mixing should be no problem either. As sch noted, bicycles aren't demanding service for any bearing.
