Metallic Clunking When braking...

I need some help diagnosing a bothersome "hopefully not safety related" metallic clunk when I'm braking, and I only hear it on braking. Noise is coming from the front, (maybe left side?). The sound is more evident when I'm gently stopping from a roll, not every time, but like every other time.

A few weeks back I've replaced pretty much the whole braking system on the Vert: lines, pads, rotors. I even got the master cylinder replaced just two days ago. When I bled the front left, I've noticed the wheel's inside hub to be a bit "chatter'ed" with some light grooving. I spun the rotor and it looks like the rotor isn't spinning in a "perfect" circle around the hub.

Could this be a wheel bearing issue, or a hub issue with my front right wheel? Or are there other areas of interest to inspect/check. Or do I need to check my work on the pads/rotors in that area again?

Kinda frustrating when you're in the driver's seat and trying to diagnose a sound from the front, when braking. Thanks!
