If those D28 arms have the extra bracket piece for the shock mount, definitely use them. They are better than the fixed-stud design all D35 arms have (it's fairly common for the threaded stud end to break off if there's any rust present).
I seem to recall you may have to widen the axle bolt holes a bit for the D35's bolts on some arms also, but they are dimensionally the same otherwise.

The stud mount is quite solid, mostly the benefit is that it won't break off when you go to replace the shock (important if you're in the salt belt, however I doubt you'd need to worry about this much going by the location shown in your profile).
