Poly binds and/or squeaks.
Delrin transmits notable vibration. And eventually squeaks.
Rubber just works. I didn't experience a notable loss of precision going back to rubber, either. While it's conceivable something would show up on the lap timer, it's not worth it for me.

Or, to put it another way, there's a real good chance you're unhappy if you go with something other than rubber. There's a 0% chance you are unhappy with fresh rubber.
I totally agree. Maybe a real professional racer will notice the difference and have better lap times. For 99% of the autocrossers out there it is pointless. Unless you like noisy suspension.

My goal was to refresh my rubber bushings, and have a car my wife will still ride in that is a blast to drive.
