Default LCA's rod end or poly bushings?

What if any are the benefits of having a rod end and poly bushing on the LCA's? I was about to buy some Che adj. LCA's with poly bushings on both ends, but for the same price I can get the rod end on one side.

Would the rod end cause more noise, vibration?

I'm getting poly/poly because they are the the quietest. The rod/rod is the most firm and best for racing, but is more noisey. I'm never going to the track and possibly a few times down the strip, but that's it for me, so I"m getting the softest.

That's what I figured, just wanted some confirmation. I'll probably get the poly/poly as well.

W1ldcat is dead on.

Poly/Poly = quietest
Poly/Rod-end combo = Compromise
Rod/Rod = stiffest, but noisy
