Just change the entire lower control arm. The time saved is massive and is worth the extra cost. Make sure you have an alignment performed after.

I always look at the differences between the grades, sometimes you can get "heavy duty" or "premium" for only a couple dollars over economy. I'm not sure what the difference is from manufacturer to manufacturer but for example if you buy AC Delco they're premium might have a better warranty than economy. I know I recently bought premium moog sway bar bushings and they were cheaper than moog economy ones...not sure why or how but obviously I went with those. As far as steel vs aluminum, I did the simple test of putting a magnet on my current ones, magnets won't stick to aluminum.
