Go with greasable bushings - they are kind of messy (whatever) but they flex smoothly and do not make those creaking noises when you are flexing out....And as Tim said Urethane is probably the best way to go....good luck

Rubber does flex more and poly lasts longer.

There is a middle ground though. They're a bit more expensive, but we've found Old Man Emu bushings flex about as good as rubber but have the durability of poly. They use a softer urethane compound and the bushings themselves are grooved so that they can deflect and allow for great articulation. At about $80 for the vehicle though, they are twice what our normal poly bushings run.
