is it better to replace the whole Control arm or replace the joints and bushings?

What part is bad the ball joint or the bushings??? You dont generaly replace the whole arm unless its bent or your installing a lift kit that comes with new ones...

i just say in a video that some time the bushings can get mushy in the c arm and thought it might give me a more firm ride-

--- but is it worth all the effort to take it off just for 2 bushings ?
ball joints aint been done in 2 years though

I agree, just replace the worn parts, unless the whole arm is cheaper then the separate parts. I just recently replaced the ball joints on my '07 Tahoe after 100,000 miles of service, and the arm and bushings were fine.
