Lower ball joint, press or replace arm?

In the process of installing Urethane bushings and when I pulled the passenger side lower control arm, I noticed the boot on the ball joint is ripped.

Since I'm pressing in new urethane bushings (I'm paying a shop to do the pressing) , would I be better off just getting new ball joints and having them pushed in at the same time, or would there be any advantage to buying the new arms with the new ball joints in place already?

Any suggestions on parts, prices, and places to buy would be great.
 
I have had the replacement ball joints on both of my SC's pressed in. I couldn't get it w/ the rental press from auto zone but if you take the arms off and take them to a machine shop to press the joints for you it should work fine.
