I'm not sure if you can find race quality parts for your car but if not I'd go with the premium quality.

I don't know of adjustable ones, what's there to adjust in a ball joint?

Go with premium. Economy = cheap and will wear out at a faster pace.

If it's adjustable, it would be for "stiffness"... I think

I think my lancer's like that too. I did my yearly inspection, need new struts on my car but the rest looks like car came out of showroom.

Control Arm can get a little pricey but the best result is when you do lower as well. If it's out of budget then of course you'll lubricate everything that moves plenty.
