Default Using barrel bushings?..what do you use?

I want to use 'barrel' bushings 98a hard or inserts on the bottom for more stability...does that make sense? Not sure what to use for the top. I'm running 3 indy 215 trucks..with black hard bushings, but they are kinda thin, not bulky. I know Randals may be different.
Can you tell me what do you use?

I went for the 95a Bitches for my luge. I looked at the barrels, and I still would like a bottom barrel,but for now got these. They are still breaking in (takes time), but cant wait to see the way they perform different than my black Randal bushings. Supposedly, these dampen vibration and rebound a little quicker which is what I need. They fit great in the Randals.
