Sway bars get negative rep because people who are building dedicated track cars are generally better served with stiff springs than the compromise of moderate springs and large, stiff bars. But for your street driven car, it's the ideal solution.
I've been looking to go that route for a while (and swap the 17mm that I have on to the Forester ), but Kostamojen recently installed the Whiteline balljoint kit and said:

Driving wise, it gives a little more steering response when cornering and perhaps some snap oversteer if you are not careful.
Given this info, I think I'd like to go with the balljoint kit first and then step the swaybars up from there as needed.
