Which kind of shifter bushing is better? Urethane or rubber?

I have a handful of polyurethane bushings on my 07 WRX and I was always warned that they would make my ride "harsh." So far, it has only been noticeably stiffer, but far from what I would consider harsh. Moral of the story: do not fear the urethane.

+1 urethane. It's stiffer which gives a feel of more connection between drivetrain and car. The driver almost always prefers this connection above the smoothness of being disconnected from your car. Passengers will notice some additional movement when shifting but it won't be that noticeable. To a driver? All benefit, no negative.
