Get OEM mate. German Swedish and French in the UK are good suppliers of OEM at good money. Whereabouts in the UK do you live? As for changing them, check them first before spending money for no reason. But if they haven't been done recently, then at 150k they probably do need doing!
im in leeds.
there is a GSF local to me.
how do i check if there ok?

The only part of the arm that is going to be perished is the bushes, so check to see if the rubbers look worn, and if there is a lot of movement. If so, then they need changing.

No probs buddy. If you are unsure in any way as to the condition of the bushes, then take photo's and put them on here. You can usually tell if they're gone by just looking if they're THAT far gone! Alternatively, go toa local garage (any will do) and they'll be able to tell you. But it's fairly simple to diagnose whether the rubber is gone or not 
Good luck with it all bud!

Actually it's better to get the whole arm replaced, easier than just doing the bushes.
This may help:
