Polyurethane vs Hiem joint

Looking at replacing my control arms, stock bushings are toast on the passenger side. In a perfect world I would like to go with CARLI or THUREN Hiem joint ends. But... not sure on the cost and the over all need for that much suspension... Any one have experience with DT control arms with polyurethane bushings or something comparable? I am okay with spending the money on Carli or thuren but I dont want the suspension to ride any harsher. I was thinking the poly bushings might soak up more road vibrations and cycle smoother but I don't want to give up longevity for ride. I want them to last. I have also heard the poly's tend to squeek and that would drive me NUTS! any input much appreciated.
Thanks,
