Hopefully that thicker 'hole' washer and pin set up will keep my the bearings adjusted and wont loosen

Yeah, I always repack the bearings wit grease

Not sure what you are referring to here:

Repacking wheel bearings is pretty basic

.

They should not loosen. The whole system works very well, when done properly, but so many people screw it up.
The "feel" of tight/loose is a bit of an art, but the actual assembly of the system is very straight forward.
The feel of the tightening has a little to do with the wear over time of the nut and spindle. It the inner nut is a little loose on the spindle threads, the outer nut will push that slack out when it is tightened, then the wheel bearing fit will be too tight. The trick of turning the washer over can be quite helpful, as is having a small dentil type pick to pull it out.
All in all, the most important thing is that the pin is actually in one of the holes and the washer sits flat on the inner nut. Having the correct socket is critical. Otherwise it just never gets tightened properly.
