Do the front bushes crap out much? The back one is an utterly rubbish design but do the front ones wear out much? Should I put in stock ford front or superpro bushes which are solid urethane?

Yeah I will do the welding, I will arc it. Iv watched the ims youtube video about pressing in the front bushes to the correct depth otherwise you get the arms rubbing. The stock bushes have shoulders on them  apparently that you press them in until the shoulders hit. The superpros don't and you have to press them in past flush about 8mm, measure measure measure. That's why I thought stock front bushes could be a good idea to eliminate the rubbing and nvh potential problems. Also some guys reckon rubber is better than urethane. Actually arc welding might be too hot and make the diff bracket warp when fully welding it after tacking it together and removing diff. Might get it mig welded instead.
