Default Strut rods. Rubber or polyurethane bushings?

I have polyurethane strut rod bushings(a polyurethane bushings total suspension kit)
Most of the bushings on my car is good except for the strut rods which i will change soon.

Is polyurethane bushings okay to use on the strut rods or should i order a set of rubber bushings?

I have heard so much about squeaking if you use polyurethane bushings so that is why i ask

Before i take the strut rods off my car do i need new strut rod bushings end caps? Do i need to use a press to get the new polyurethane bushings in place?
The polyurethane bushings is one half from each side of the strut rod so i suppose they are more easy to fit in place than the factory rubber bushings?

Is it enough enough to mark the eccentric adjusting bolts?
