chevy 63 swap poly or rubber?

Hey guys I broke a leaf spring a couple weeks back, which gave me the perfect reason to do the 63 swap. My question is are you guys running the stock bushings in the springs or are you running poly. I bought the kit from ruffstuff (they had an awesome sale) came with poly, I have built alot of other trucks and used poly a couple times they always seem to squeak and make weird noises unless lubed regularly. The truck is a daily driver work truck plow truck etc. Your thoughts Thanks

Use the poly, it may squeak but, it'll outlast rubber by decades.
I had a hell of a time shoving the shackle bolts through the polyurethane bushings but, my rig sits pretty and the squeaks stopped.
