Is it worth upgrading the rear shock on my '06 Fuel 80?

The rear end doesn't always feel that active, compared to some other bikes I've tried. How much will a better shock improve the performance? Does the fact that the rear end is bushings instead of bearings make a difference?

I've looked at a few shocks and have a shortlist that I'd consider.

RS Pearl 3.3
RS Monarch 3.1
Fox Float R
Fox Float RP2

Anyone got any opinions on these?
