I've never noticed htthat one wears faster - and in fact they last a lonbg g time. But...
I would suspect that it has more to do with external damage/unusual impact rather than simply time and mileage. In pure theoretical guessing land, i would suspect the rears since they carry more weight and likely higher side-loads.

Either way, the rubber bushings and shock-top mount bearings (mostly front) may wear before the actual damper unit and always should be replaced with them.

I would always do all 4. Its a performance car and you want balanced performance.
