If you don’t want to install adjustable strut rods and greaseable pivot pins you should stick to rubber.
Poly is great, but works differently than stock and it works much better if it’s paired with some other parts. Namely, greaseable LCA pivot pins and adjustable strut rods. Especially the greaseable pins.
Suspension parts all have to work together. So if you’re keeping everything else stock, keep the stock bushings. If you’re upgrading and using aftermarket suspension parts, poly and Delrin bushings work better. I switched my poly LCA bushings for a set of Delrin LCA bushings from Bergman Autocraft about 15k miles ago. When the poly bushings came out they look exactly like the day I installed them, despite having over 10k miles on them. Do it right and they’ll last for decades.
If you toss all poly bushings into the stock suspension you’ll just be one of those guys on here that say their poly bushings started squeaking and wore out. Poly shouldn’t squeak, if it does then it needs to be lubricated. Simple as that. Anything else is improper maintenance.
I kinda laugh when Midwesterner’s show how ignorant they are about anything outside the Midwest by saying things like there aren’t annual freeze and thaw cycles in California. California gets more snow than Ohio bud, it’s a big place. There are places in California that get 600-700” of snow annually.
