    I was thinking OEM rubber ones would be more comfortable (softer)...what's the opinion here?

    Polyurethane would last longer however they may make more noise if not greased properly.

    Polys are also stiffer ride? Stiffer suspension for more control but less comfort than rubber? I remember putting poly bushings throughout my sports car and that was great...but I don't know if I'd want that for a truck.
