Replaceing ball joints

I'm replacing ball joints and I was going to put in new bushings as well is Duralast bushings except able I could get Moog and Auto Extra Mevotech for the same price but I have to wait a week for delivery. I know sometimes one brand is considerably better than another but I'm not sure if in this case it would even matter on just rubber bushings. Any thoughts on this. I noticed the uppers look not to bad but since I have the control arm off I would just replace them as well. I have about 180,000 miles on the car.

Iam not sure who makes the duralast sometimes they use well name brand manufactors to make there parts.I know the federal moog company makes a lot of factory parts. If its worth waiting a week not too sure about that one. You have a lot of miles on that van so those will probably be the last set of bushings you put in there.
