I used poly for front sway bar and rear leaf spring bushes and very pleased with them so far. They were Energy Suspension bushes.
As for ball joints I would go with Moog.

ditto to both, poly bushings will give you alot better ride and control etc.. just make sure you keep them lubed or they will squeek, and as for ball joints again Moog all the way! they are pricey but there is not a better ball joint out there and this is not one of the components you want to skimp on...

I've gotta chime in here and also say, MOOG would be my #1 choice for ball joints. Those guys build 'em to last.
