Default Control arms

Ive been looking at controls lately since our are shot (rear axle hops bad). Ive been looking for something cheap but dont want to go extreamly cheap and get crap parts. I have been looking at Maximum motorsports and UPR. I like the prices that UPR has but are they're products any good? Also should I just get lowers with urethane bushings or should I get the shreaphical ones? The car is aminly a cruiser. We dont drag it but we like it put it through the paces. Also the ones from UPR are adjustable. I dont know if I really need that or not since I dont have any othe suspension mods (other than a tower brace and hopefully frame connectors soon). Any information on these products or better one (Im trying to stay under $300) would be much appreciated.
