I'm a big believer in Poly bushes. They locate the rear-end in particular much better than the stock rubber do.

IPD's kit is the best compromise for ride quality/economy and the v-performance is the most complete kit. If you do get the IPD kit order four extra upper a-arm bushes (each bush is a half-piece) to do the panhard bar as they are MUCH easier to install than the stock garbage supplied in their kit!

Increased wear on the other components is silly. More harshness over rough surfaces, well, yes, but not nasty.

The lowered progressive springs are great and as long as you don't go to too low-profile of a tire or too heavy of a tire/wheel combo (which IMHO is the biggest reason for harshness).
