Where in the world are you?

How many miles have those bushes lasted?

These for the front arm front bush...

http://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-series/product-details/Front+Wishbone+Front+Bush/1760.html

And Genuine GM for the front arm rear (vertical) bush.

Alternatively get these if budget is an issue...

https://www.atp-autoteile.de/group/1150201/product/3861/18846/details.htm :y

Best bet is to buy the set in the link and fit the Powerflex bushes before fitting them, then get the geometry set properly :y
that's exactly what I did :)

It is up to you, but safe to say you'd find it impossible to tell the difference if you did.

Personally don't see any reason to change the AR bushes, the ant roll bar only rotates inside it, so whether the bush is made from wood or rubber isn't affecting the dynamics of the car in the same way as the wishbone bushes do - which are designed to deform, that's how they work. You might even find some TD OOFers who still have their AR bushes in a bag - as the TD are notoriously a pain to fit, compared with 4cyl and V6 models.

Have you been peeking in my garage? :-[ ::) ::) ::)

I'm still not sure about the poly bushes....only I've heard that the ride gets fairly firm, and with my MV6's I find the ride pretty firm already and given the state of the roads I don't want to be having any more feedback from the road surface than at present,others will have a different view :-\
Not so much firms it up, more takes slack out. The sensation may appear similar at first.

Certainly doesn't make it harsh.

Driving a slobbery, floppy, nose-diving-into-corners TD which is fitted with Polys, I can only agree wholeheartedly with TB here. Does not firm the car up at all!  Polys well worth the cost (which isn't much anyway) and don't adversely affect the omega 'waftability'  :)
