Default Opinions on Urethane Bushings -w- Embedded Graphite

Since the next stage of my car restoration after my engine is done is the suspension I have a question for the auto-x croud.

My rubber bushings are getting really old and I will soon be replacing them with something harder.

I know both the pros and cons of a car with plastic bushings, but what I really want to know about is if the bushings that have graphite in them really any better about not squeeking than old fashioned urethane bushings.

I can live with a lot of the road harshness that will be added to my vehicle if I make the switch, but I can't live with a squeaky suspension.

If worse comes to worse I can always just add some lube passages and grease fittings to my bushings when I rebuild the suspension.
