Default AU XR8 control arm bushes

Need new bushes in the front lower control arms. Just spoke to pedders in dandenong and they recommend heavy duty rubber bushes instead of urethane, because they are not as harsh as urethane. price on rubber is 314 for a full set to do both sides or 274 for the urethane.
does pricing sound ok forthese? anybody get them cheaper? which ones would you choose/ or used?
