Nope, urethane lasts longer -- the only side effect is that is can be squeeky. It also can be made in a bigger color range than rubber which show car people like.

Might wear the bearing surface on the spring arm, too, there's always going to be grit and such get in there if it's a running fit. My suggestion is the same as the dealer's, dump the urethane and get the stock rubber ones installed as per factory procedure.
