PLA should be fine for printing posts. The ball only hits the rubber, and if you print the post massive with 100% infill it would last forever.
I tried both PLA and ABS for posts in my AFM rebuild, and they are all fine. Would not even know any more which is which.
Avoid POSTS designs that are hollow inside. The extra material cost printing it massive is minimal and it makes the post so much stronger. It also gives a larger area where the post touches the playfield, resulting in much less risk of damaging the clear on heavy impacted posts.
