I'll be running Energy Suspension bushings up front with the PST inner and outer tie rods. I would just get the whole kit from PST. I found out about them too late. Already had the ES bushings.

urethane
Make sure you verify exactly what size sway bars you have before you order and make them tell you what size bushings they supply with the kit.
Also the tie rod and ball joint boots OD and ID should be checked to be sure you get the right parts.
It took three trips to trade in parts to get it right on my 1979 SA and I still had to open up the stud hole in the ball joint boots to fit.

poly graphite
The polygrafhite ones are impregnated with graphite as a "dry" lubrlicant. This is supposed to make them less likely to squeek than the straight urethane ones. I have not seen a noticable difference so I prefer to use the plain bushings with the special bushing lubricant. (referred to as "snot" by some).
