I didn't think about needing an oversized replacement, but this seems better than buying a body with the stock diameter bushing in it. It also comes with other pieces at a cost savings. Also says it uses a more durable material than the nylon. Any thoughts on this?
You have to measure the wear to be sure if you need an oversized replacement. If it's not worn, an oversized bushing may not fit or may be too tight.

Can't really say more than this except that this nylon bushing design has always been a POS, and it astonishes me that a company like Mavic took all that years to fix this extremely bad engineering with the release of id360 freehubs.
