On a Vanagon, the only place where Powerflex offers an option is at the radius rod location. You have a yellow version (slightly softer) and a purple version (slightly harder). The purple version is appropriate for stock height or lowered 2wds and the yellow version is appropriate for lifted 2wds and all Syncros. The difference in ride quality is pretty minor and hard to detect unless you compare them back to back on the same van.

Whiteline bushings are more economical, but Powerflex bushings offer a better ride quality. Both have a lifetime warranty.

Please elucidate your WhiteLine  preference over Powerflex, especially for the lower control arm. Mine is way overdue.
Thanks,
