Default Riser bushings

I am getting ready to install monkey bagger bars on my 2010 FLHX and was wondering if there is any particular riser bushing recommended more than other brands. Thank you.

I like the Arlen Ness over the ones from HD. They seemed a little stiffer.

2010 Limited with some stuff

I got a good price on Amazon on the Arlen Ness poly ones, so that's what I used.
