Default Megan is Hardrace - Any difference?

All,
I have searched around a few forums and cannot get a clear answer. Are Megan Racing and Hardrace essentially using the same rubber bushings? I have seen they are just rebranded, I've heard they are both made in Taiwan, etc.
I am curious because I just replaced my motor mounts with Megan and was pretty happy. Looking to replace the differential bushings but unsure whether to use Hardrace or Megan. I would prefer solid rubber over Polyurethane to keep the NVH down.

Also if anyone has opinions on diff bushings please chime in. I have read the search info but always like to get reviews. Really looking at rubber not TPU options.

+1 and I have been pretty happy with their products and support

1 note; for the bushings experience load in 1 direction; I would use polyurethane or a solid bushing is fine. For the bushings that experience load in 2 dimensions; I.e. compliance bushings I would try something like a monoball or OEM rubber

So for the differential would you recommend urethane or rubber? Does the diff see multi-axial loads?

I think the rubber will ultimately translate less vibration or noise into the cabin.

Thanks guys. Megan/Hardrace it is. I am pretty happy with the motor mounts so far so hopefully the diff mounts work as well.
