If you buy the set from Mazda, I would not replace all of the bushings unless you see damage. Many bushings take very light load and generally don't need to be replaced. Others do take load and those are the ones you want to change.
The superpro kit is really good and a good value too. If you want to firm up the suspension over the stock design this is a way to go. If you want comfort and quiet, the Mazda bushings are ideal.

Given your goals, stick with stock bushings. The stock bushings on the FD are excellent. The poly bushings are harder and transmit a bit more noise, vibration and harshness over rough roads. I have some poly bushings on my car so I speak from experience.
If you do order from rx7 store or any other vendor, make sure they have them in stock and ready to ship. Those parts are sometimes hard to come by.

Another symptom is noises from the joint where the bushing is located.
Search the Suspension section for more threads on bushings, testing bushings and replacing bushings.
