Tim,
I have to agree with you on this. Most of the responses I have received 
recommend the standard replacement bushings. As a matter of fact I just 
received the new replacement mount set & the rubber compound is very 
stiff. I am truly an advocate of poly material to replace standard 
bushings but in this application it might be detrimental. I think damage 
to the mounts from from a quick shift , aggressive start or  vibration 
will be better absorbed by a more compliant material. The standard 
rubber material is by no means "soft" so to me Poly isn't worth taking 
the chance of doing the job only to get a driveline vibration or noise.
The real fix here is to make sure the mounts are reinforced and check 
the bushing for looseness and a snug fit.
