My experience with my own car was that performance springs reduced roll significantly. Adding the M3 sways on top of the perf. springs made no perceptible difference in my car. I was surprised, I thought I would feel the different rear sway bar. But I felt no difference.
Riding on bump stops means that the shock body contacts the bump stop when the car is at static (rest) height. One of my goals is to fix this by giving the car more travel.
Personally, I think that if you're most concerned about power out of a corner, AND you believe it can be fixed without an LSD, then there are two ways to improve it: reduce weight transfer by lowering the car, and soften the rear suspension relative to the front. Both will make the car worse, but it will get you closer to your goal.
I think that springs or shocks (or both) will make a lot more difference than any of the bushings you're considering. The rear sway bar will make a small difference in a direction opposite to your stated goal.
EDIT: To clarify, I am not recommending springs or shocks to fix power out of a corner. I don't think anything can properly fix that except an LSD.
