Sure you can replace them all in stages, the swaybar kit should be
completely seperate from the control arm bushings, as well as whatever else
you'd like to replace.

Energy makes nice bushings.

Keep in mind that even if heavily greased, urethane bushings will creak on
you. If you think you don't want something that'll be as noisy, check out
the polygraphite bushings, I hear they're quieter. Literally every bushing
on my mustang was urethane, and on a cold morning, you could really hear
them. As soon as I sat into the car, they started creaking and would
usually continue to creak for a good 20 - 30 minutes of use. After that I
guess they got warm enough where they didn't.
