Default rear upper control arms? Aftermarket OE style or camber kit?

My upper control arm on my rear driver's side trailing arm is shot. The bushing is completely busted.

I've explored the options. There's Prothane bushings ($71) that I guess have to be pressed in, and I don't have access to a hydraulic press. There are OEM style UCAs on eBay that I have no idea how good of quality they are ($47). Same with camber kits, just generic eBay ones ($38). Ingalls camber kits are about $110/shipped on Amazon. OEM isn't an option, Honda wants way, way too much.

What am I best off doing? Reusing my old UCAs and pressing in the Prothane bushings or probably the Ingalls kits?

I would just get replacement OE UCAs from your local auto parts or online. Ebay might work depending on a brand. Moog or Beck/Arnely are decent enough brands for oe replacement. No need for camber adjustment, especially in the rear
