If the suspension arm articulates in one plane then poly
If the suspension arm articulates two planes then consider rubber

The reason I suggest this is that if the arm moves in 2 planes then the bush needs to deflect to allow the suspension to move. Poly won't allow that, rubber will.

A good example of this is live axle trailing arms. They need to move in 2 planes. Poly bushes will bind and limit suspension movement.

poly are cheap and when they wear out you can send in pics to the company and get free bushes (lifetime warranty)

if you're a stickler for comfort get factory rubber
