Yes, they will all be replaced. Should I replace bearings at the same time?
Car is seeing at least two track days every week. There's only been 3 weekends since first of May that I haven't been at the track.
I've been searching (without much success) for information on preventative maintenance checklists. I'm doing the obvious stuff like fluids, checking suspension components, etc. What I'm looking for is more info on major items that need to be inspected or replaced regularly. I've already had the control arm mounting points up front reinforced.

Yes, I talked with them. They replace the bearings at the same time.
How often (if ever) should I replace hub assembly? They're only $200 and the hub failures seem to lead to $$$ damage.

Honda says replace the bearings every time. I've re-used them with good results but, that was just because I was too cheap to buy another set (I'd just replaced them).
The hub needs to be replaced if it's damaged. If you never spun a wheel bearing, I wouldn't replace it. It's an interference fit which means it needs to be tight so, if it's ever loose it needs replacement. If your axle or hub bolts are ever loose I imagine that would let the hubs "walk" or chatter and that would damage them. It wouldn't hurt to replace them.
You may want to consider ARP studs. I have ARP extended studs on my Civic and love them.

Those of us who change wheels frequently experience broken studs all too often. I think that the studs and/or the lug nuts just go bad after a while, with all the use and torquing.
I now use anti-seize on my studs (checking during the day to make sure they're not coming loose); I have had no studs break since I started doing that.
