Galved sleeves will be fine as you have to cover them in grease anyway.
I have no doubt, as CHIPPO has said, that the compliance bush won't be and will bind making it useless.
Personally I have no problem with poly bushes as long as one understands that they must be checked upon regularly and replaced often as they will distort.
Having said that, replacing them is about as easy as it gets!

I think it's worth spending abit extra and go for the powerflex/polybush kits as we know they work as they should 
God knows what could happen if they failed at speed

I haven't decided what to buy as yet. I just posted it up as a general question. There are loads of suppliers of polybushes all round the world, as I have discovered using the power of Mr Google and his remarkable engine. Not all of them make bushes for the S2000, so they never get discussed here. I can't believe that there is a great deal of difference between the lot of them. If they all fell to bits after a few months they wouldn't still be in business. Decisions, decisions ....

If you'd have posted: 'I prefer to stick to what I know so I'd go Powerflex' that'd be fine.
But what you said was basically if you buy those you will crash and die. I find it extremely improbable that a poly bush will 'fail'. It will just distort and you'll start to get some knocking.
There is a lot of scare mongering on here and it gets a little annoying sometimes because newbies end up buying into it.
Good luck with whatever you buy Andy and please post your results up here of the new bushes whatever you go for
