The biggest advantage of the endlinks is to position the swaybar properly. I don't think OEM endlinks will work in any scenario involving a larger than factory swaybar.

The adjustable endlinks may be stiffer due to the use of heim joints, rather than rubber bushings, but the difference will be minimal on a street car.

If this is going on anything other than an ITR (which would be pointless, because the OEM ITR rear swaybar is 22mm), I would recommend some type of Sub-frame Reinforcement kit such as Beaks or ASR.

The primary advantage of adjustable endlinks is to be able to install the ARB without preload.

If one side of the car sits lower than the other (as in common for our offset weight FWD cars), you make one endlink longer than the other so that at rest the ARB isn't already taking load.

Spherical bearings in place of bushings are stiffer (they remove the bushing slop), but don't last as long. After 3 years, mine have started squeaking and have a slight amount of slop in them that they did not have when new.
