As of now, I would use the poly bushings again on my next one. I don't have any constructive comments for you on the coil overs as I installed AC Delco shocks all the away around on mine.
The problem isn't the noise. The noise is a byproduct of the problem, which is binding. Greasing them during install will solve the problem for the short term, but if the bushings don't have any provision to grease them after the install, at regular intervals, they will eventually bind and quickly wear out.
