Default replacing strut rod bushings with poly-urethane advisable?

I've been reading through the archives, researching on what parts from my ES master set that I should and shouldn't use (i.e. rear trailing arm bushings binding, etc.). Unfortunately, I must be a complete moron at using the search function because I haven't found any opinions/facts about using poly-urethane strut rod bushings.

I found that most of the contributers to past posts on poly-u bushings frequent the ITR forum so I thought I'd ask here

EDIT: my spelling and grammar suck...

I remember a post from the RR/AX forum where Lee @ Koni advises against poly bushings in the shock hats and goes on to say it voids either the entire or part of the warranty on Koni shocks.

ITR upper hat bushings are plenty stiff.

Hmmmm.... I think the bushings I'm talking about are the radius rod bushings althoug ES calls them "strut rod" bushings. Let me see if I can post a piq to help clarify which bushings I need advice on... Sorry for the confusion...
