Need some input on bearing wear.

Need some input on bearing wear.
I have my tranny apart and took some pictures of the main shaft and differential carrier outer races. I am going to replace the differential carrier bearings, without a doubt, but I am up in the air over whether to replace the main and input shaft bearings as well. Take a look at these pictures and tell me what you think.

I know there are no pictures of the input shaft bearings, but if it is deemed necessary to replace the main shaft bearings, I'll do the input shaft as well.
It's mainly a question of money. Do I buy the whole rebuild kit, or just the differential carrier bearings and seals? However, I want it to be reliable, of course, for some spirited mountain driving in western PA. Thanks for looking.

I agree with the previous post. For the difference in cost of parts VS the time and energy required to pull your tranny-do them all. I have a worn input shaft bearing to replace in the near future, but I'm buying the full rebuild kit and replacing all included bearings while I have it apart. I have no intention of ever pulling the tranny off this car again.
