Polyurethane is the best, also upgrading the other swaybar bushes to this material is equivalent to increasing the swaybar diameter a couple of mm.

it wears out quicker than rubber bushes if youre really giving it a hiding. i know Rollin's car went through a set of bushes after 3 months but his driving style is quite exuberant.
