to be honest if i do it ill prob just replace them all but i was wondering if aftermarket ones help control much more then oem

There's no advantage of aftermarket control arms other than adding a sway bar hole in the rear, and being lighter. If you need a quick replacement while not having to spend too much money, used OEM is the way to go.

But then again, what control arms are you talking about? Front upper, I would consider a camber kit arm if your car is lowered.

if you got the cash then just rebuild your entire suspension.

Nope. They are basically bling OEM replacement with a sway bar hole.
