Scraping noise
Removed/reattached brake pads/calipers, made sure dust shield not bent, no stones, pad use even/plenty, slotted rotors good but still have scraping noise only when car moving. No loose/side to side movement of wheel when attached. Any ideas what it could be? I'm leaning towards wheel bearing but wanted to know your thoughts?

Jack up one wheel at a time and rotate by hand. You should be able to hear it, and then you can focus on that particular wheel. Obviously, the VERY first thing to check is brake pad wear indicator hitting rotor, but you indicate you already checked pads???
Wheel bearing....... check with wheel jacked up. Wiggle wheel by hand at top and bottom.... should be zero play. If it's making as much noise as you say, then wheel bearing could be dangerously worn but should be easy to diagnose.
