Dealer, or one of those dealers that sell stuff on-line like...
www.manhonda.com
www.hondaautomotiveparts.com
The mainshaft is the one that sticks out into the clutch. It turns all the time. It's got a bearing at each end. One is #21 & the other is shown in the "MT clutch housing" drawing.
But wait...couple of the gearsets are fixed at the countershaft, so the bearings inside those gearsets are spinning too. So... maybe you have 4 bearings to choose from.
The countershaft will not be spinning unless the wheels are spinning. But the gearsets which have synchro hubs on the countershaft will be spinning along with the mainshaft, so their bearings on the countershaft will be spinning. That's 2 more... for a total of 6 bearings that are spinning when you idle in neutral.
I bet it'll keep making noise & won't fall apart for a while. Long enough to get a copy of that Helm book. There's probably 60 pages on dismantling the manual tranny, not counting the section on removing it from the car. It's very detailed & if you read it you'll have a very good idea what you're getting yourself into.

RE: throw-out bearing or main shaft bearing?
I may just be better off going to our U-Pull-It junkyard and getting a tranny there for $100. Not sure I want to spend the money on the manual, then any specialty tools needed, then not getting the shims and preloads set right .. ugghhh. Only problem there is you don't know what you have until you get it installed.
