What to do with front subframe bushings?

I'll be changing the front subframe bushings soon by dropping the subframe. 2003 Aero with ~136K.
I'm wondering what to change at the same time.
- rear engine mount - probably or does it tend to last longer than this?
- sway bar links - already done
- sway bar bushings - if so, what brand is recommended? Are there any sizing discrepancies like with the rear one?
Does anything else make sense at the same time? Hard to get to hoses or other bits? I've been told oil pan by one of the many shops I've spoken with. I'm not sure it's critical to do now or that much less costly or needed at all if there have been regular oil changes. I plan to clean up the engine while it's more accessible and then hopefully any oil leaks will have more apparent sources.
Are there any hard to get at vacuum lines down there? I've changed most, but probably not all.
