I'm coming into this a bit late, as I've been kinda busy lately.
After using all of the available inner a-arm bushings in many different
cars, my preference for street use are the Black Polyurethane ones sold
under Moss #280-485.
They look and handle as original, are not prone to squeaking without the
need of additional lubricant and don't have the corrosion worries
associated with the V8 metalastic design.
They have been around now for over 20 years, so have a pretty long track
record.
No major issues with any of the other brands, but this is my
recommendation.
Kelvin.

I also replaced my bushings with the red polyurethane sold by Moss.
They did
not increase ride harshness, in fact I think they greatly improved the
handling. The car now feels firmer and more precise when cornering. I
had
the V8 bushings in the car for about 5 years and they had started to
deteriorate. I replaced the a - arm , front crossmember and rear spring
mounts with the red polyurethane. I highly recommend them. Make sure
you use
the supplied lubricant on the bushings to prevent squeaking.
