shock mount kit, bush or bearing?

gtd.

The shock mounts and bushes need replacing on my Patriot 22mm x m8?

I have 2 new Rock Shox 1/2"x1/2" standard eyelet bushes

Should I just fit them and newRock Shox Rear Shock Mount Hardware 1/2"x 1/2" or should Ii use other bushes/bearings and hardware kits?

Was looking at Real World Cycles SHOCK EYE NEEDLE BEARING CONVERSION KITS

BETD Needle Roller Bearings

BETD Nylon Strong Bushes

TF Tuned Heavy-Duty Mount Kits

Have heard mixed reports about the BETD bearings they seem to work well in some applications but no so good in others. My Rize is not exceptionally heavy on shock bushes and I've tried 2x standard ones and one from TF. The TF one lasted longer but (and it could be just coincidence) the shock link mounting hole started to wear (£32.99 for a new shock link) so I have gone back to the standard bushes.

I understand they are a sacrificial part so that other more expensive bits don't wear out.

I have no experience of needle bearing kits so I cant comment but I have used a Tftuned heavy duty mount kit and they are solid, easy to fit and long lasting.
