Which brand of rear sway bar?

How do you go about choosing the brand for a rear sway bar? It's a very low tech item and I haven't seen any reports that one brand actually performs any better than another. People sometimes swap out their sway bar for a larger one, but I've never heard of anyone swapping their bar for a "better" one. The only significant differences I can find are that a few are not adjustable (most are), and some claim to be better at being non-squeaky. Other than that, is there any particular reason to choose one brand over another?

Tubular swaybars are lighter than solid for equivalent effect.

Bushings that can be lubed without disassembly are nice.

If one cares enought to replace the rear bar in the first place then adjustability would seem to be essential.
