Default ZJ Tie Rod Swap - Poly or Rubber Boots?

I'll be doing the ZJ tie rod swap and wanted to get the consensus of those who have done this before. I'll be using brand new parts and I also have the poly boots for the tie rod ends. Should I replace the new rubber boots with the poly boots? I've searched but didn't find a satisfactory answer...

Poly boots are mostly for looks. I don't see them working any better than the stock ones IMO.
