Hi Les,
For me it’s OEM bushes, keeping the ride factory if possible, helps keep everything as it was designed.

Yes and no - if the arms are OEM then Powerflex bushes are easier to fit as the inner part moves freely in the outer, but some pattern arms need the profile filing a fair way further down to get the Powerflex bush to sit where it should.
