Subframe Bushing Inserts - BMR, Pedders, Prothane, Energy, etc.???

Anybody out there have personal experience with either the Prothane or Energy Suspension polyurethane cradle to subframe bushings? I really want to eliminate the rear suspension movement on my 2011 SS and believe this is the best first step from what I've read. After the bushings I intend to replace the trailing arms, toe links and rear sway bar. My question is which bushings should I go with? From a pricing standpoint I have seen prices from a low of $120 for the Energy Suspension bushings to a high of $265 for the Pedder's version with the others falling in between for what look to be essentially the same product. Does anyone know what the differences are? On a daily driver with the occassional autoX or track day, does it really matter? I've always been a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" but in this particular situation with a price spread of more than a 100%, I'm just not sure which way to go. Any personal experiences and/or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks
