If you want an easy place to see and compare racer grade versions of various rod end and spherical bearing options Pegasus has a lot of pictures and specs. Lots of links to browse for possible solutions.

I assume you've browsed other cars on Sam's site for other ideas or existing parts.

Also here are images of Mustang oem links for potential ideas. Obviously they have plenty of strength.

And have the rod ends on their way to me. Nice find!

Finally, success!

Final version? by krshultz, on Flickr

Took more trial and error than I'd hoped, but I think this is the solution for the endlink part. I think I'm still going to want more rear bar on it, but this should at least be a lot less bound up than the previous setup was.
