70 or 73-87 A-arms , which is better?

Starting to collect parts for my 1970 1/2 ton. I'm doing the 73-87 spindle swap and wondering if I should use the newer a-arms too or use my factory arms. I'm going to rebuild either set, just want to know which ones would be better to use. The truck will also be bagged if that matter.

The late arms will be cheaper to rebuild. They also offer a better ride due to rubber instead of steel bushings. Both of my trucks have '73-up arms...

Thanks gringo. That was my plan, just checking to see if there was any advantages to the older arms.
