Default Replacement bushings? Factory or aftermarket?

Need to replace some of the front suspension bushings on my Q5 mainly the rear lower. Is everyone just using OE replacements? Are there any better options? Poly, or higher Audi model upgrade parts?

Better designed for the racetrack, perhaps. Be careful because not everyone is going to want 034 performance suspension bushings on their luxo-SUV. Slightly more responsive handling will come at a cost of less comfort and more noise.
