And just to add a different opinion,,,,, I put Hotchkis upper/lower cntrl arms on my 95 and like them immensely. The only thing that sucks about puttin them (fill in any brand here) is cleaning out the old bushing for the upper control arm. It takes a while but well worth it when you are done.
Also, I found that after the first 1000 miles or so the nuts loosen up and ya have to get back under the car and re-tighten. No issues after that. Get some subframe connectors and it will be a totally different car. The one thing I noticed is that the rear end is much more controllable now when its hanging out to the side. Stock, I was never able to catch the rear end when it stepped out (at least until it was to late.) But after the install of these parts you can actually get the rear end to step out, hold it where ya want it, and bring it back without it snapping back to the other side.

You should at least get adj uppers so you can set your pinion angle and spherical bushings on one end so you don't have any axle binding. I just got UPR double adj uppers on ebay for $100 with spherical and urethane bushings. I'm looking for adj lowers with spherical bushings and urethane bushings. I was thinking about getting these so I can adj ride height.

Trying to run 10's on stock suspension is fun (scary).

these are some adjustible uppers we made for a thunderbird usind 1/2" rod ends and some 1"x1" mild steel tubing, and made the mounts from leaf spring perches welded to the axle tubes with some 1/4" plate for the uprights. since the original uppers are a different design a Panhard bar is now required.
and the welds look shitty because I was using a flux-core welder in a cramped posistion

Its tough to offer a recommendation without knowing what your plans are for the car and how serious you are about performance.
Alot of people hate southsides and complain they squeak and ride hard. I drove my car around for 2 years with them on there with no complaints.
If you're just looking for a slightly better part and good street manners, get a set of arms with urethan bushings.
If you're goal is 1.3 60' times and 4 digit HP, get spherical ends and adjustable arms.
