Moog for the ball joint, and nothing else but Moog. For the bushings, you need to consider the roads where you live, and will do the most of your driving. If the roads are fairly smooth, poly bushings will give you a firmer feel, but they're a bit harsher than rubber. If the roads are pretty rough, go with Moog replacement rubber bushings.

I bought one of these about 30 years ago, not cheap, but a very good investment.

i tried one of those........but the angles on the lower arm wont let it stay on......it wants to slip......ended up using a large press........2 man operation......the GM tool holds the arm steady and supports it so it wont slip or get damaged...thats why i say let a dealer do it...i bent my arm a little in that press

I guess I have to stand corrected. I just looked up the ES bushings on their site, and at least the uppers, don't come with the outer shells. I first had them in my car ('96 Z-28, purchased in the fall of '95) back in either '96 or '97, then took them out, then put them back in last year, when I stopped using it as a DD. Therefore, if I did have to press out the OE rubber parts, it simply slipped my mind over the years...
