I would probably use sphericals for everything besides shock mount bushings.
There's no getting around the fact that with sphericals, you will feel sharp bumps (like railroad tracks and cracked pavement) more than with rubber.
But for other bumps that don't tend to "rattle" the car, you shouldn't feel much more harshness.
Hardrace makes a nice *looking* spherical bushing. They're also booted. I bought some...
but the car has been in storage since last October. Once the winter is over, I'll go get it, install them, and start driving it.
I'd opt for OEM shock bushings. Or maybe hardrace rubber.

Is it correct that some OEM bushings require you to purchase the complete suspension part, like LCA for example?

Spoon and Mugen has OEM bushings for most of the other ones.
They are suppose to be a bit harder rubber but I'm not really sure on that since they got the same part numbers as the stock ones.

As above,the mugen compliance I fitted had same numbers on as oem, but the 2 buffers inside the bush are maybe larger,=the less claimed deflection.

In relation NVH vs ball joints, i can confirm that they are not related if geometry of the car is done properly with right amount of RCA. I have converted all rubber bushing to spherical including shock mount bushing and driven streets, occasional track for past 4 years. They are a lot firmer and feels so much better. No issue with vibration, noise or harshness. Also joints are fine with ZERO issue.
just my 2 cents.

Converted all OEM arms to Ikeya Formula. Best mod i have done to date. like I said earlier they are firmer, but doesn't give any discomfort either. other things to add is responsiveness is lightening fast which gives great feedback. Driver, however, is not up to the standard (LOL) so need more sit time to fully utilise it haha.
Cheers
