Default axle bushings..NAPA?POLY's?FORD?

well when I replaced my control arms a few months ago I noticed the bushings on the upper side on the axle housing were pretty much toast. I am pretty sure I read somewhere only to use Ford bushings on that side... can anyone explain which would be best?

i've also read a few places that say to only use the ford rubber ones on that side, to compensate for the binding. i used some poly ones and so far no problems. if you do them yourself spend the money on the install/removal tool that 50resto sells, i can't imagine how i woulda done it without that tool.
