Since they're still in the business of making polyurethane bushings, I feel rather safe assuming that Energy Suspension still sells their own poly bushing lubricant. As a second choice, I'd use the lube sold under the name, 'Super Lube'......

I don't mind poly in the right places (rotate but not twist) but anyway, most every manufacturer (prothane, energy, etc) that supplied their own grease uses a Silicone grease with PTFE Additive, that said, most recommend a "marine grease" which is usually lithium based.
No magic weasel squeezings in the manufacturers stuff so get what you can find locally

Silicone spray grease or sometimes I use spray on Graphite based lubricant. In the cooler months I still hear my Poly Bushings installed in the early1990's. Graphite works well if you can really hose it down and get lots inside. Silicone (liquid) oil might last a bit longer as it is tougher than graphite and doesn't wash off as easily. I have to lubricate the C3 and C4 as I bought the bushings before they came pre-lubricated with dry Graphite or PTFE. Not a big problem as they are hard to hear with engine running in either Corvette.
