Oem rubber bushings or poly bushings

My sway bar bushings are shot look like the original ones , so I have a set of oem rubber ones
Brand new but just noticed I could get poly. Ones from energy suspension which are supposed to be stiffer and last longer ,( I will just have to buy the black ones cause the red ones start to squeak after a while ) what do you guys think ? I will also be just removing the sway bar when I go wheelin , but since I do about 80 percent street driving It would be nice to have the front sway bar in top shape

My vote would be for poly as well and I'm in the process of installing a full kit as part of my rebuild. I bought the black kit just because I thought it would be much nicer than the red. I'm curious where you got your info that the red ones start to squeak after awhile? Sounds strange but would be great if it was true since I was worried mine would squeak.

Got the info from energy suspensions web site and from doing research on why the different colors the black ones are polyurethane infused with poly graphite and the red ones are pure polyurethane which after a while will squeak the black ones will self lubricate sort of speak do to the graphite it's made with.

I also got the red ones in my rear leaf springs and shackles and started squeaking after about a year so definitely gonna switch those out with the black ones in the near future.
