You say all the rubber parts are shot. There are only 8 bushings (and the stabilzer links and bushings which is minimal) What about all the hard parts?
2 upper ball joints
2 lower ball joints
2 drag link ends
2 inner rod ends
2 outer rod ends

I would check all these hard parts and then make my decision.
You already have knuckles with fittings that will outlast us.
Some of these parts apply to both situations, so figure that into your total cost.
I see no advantage in replacing parts that are not bad.
