Front Roll/Swaybar bushes - Rubber or Poly?

I think I've traced the source of the clonk at the front of my 97 to an old rollbar bush (the droplinks were replaced a few weeks back) which is showing light between the rubber and the bar!

Does anyone have any views on Rubber vs Polyurethane for the replacement? There doesn't seem to be much in the price, but I don't really want to replace a clonk with a squeak!

Thanks...

I replaced my sway bar links at the beginning of the summer and they are already starting to crack. If I did it again, I would have used the poly bushings.
