Default motor mounts?

damn, dudes... i haven't been on here for a while. I like my pos mustang a lot but I haven't been drivin' it for almost 2 weeks cuz my alternator fried and somehow life keeps kickin' me in the teeth so I haven't put the new one in yet.

I'm about to dig into this car again tho, and there's a few things on my mind about what exactly i'm going to do, but first-

I don't like the way this engine moves around. i don't know if the mounts are bad, I acutally kinda doubt it. I'm presuming they're the "hydraulic" type- I haven't even looked in on that yet, but here's my question: what advantages/ disadvantages are there to using an "other than stock" motor mount? I've heard a few opinions and I want some input from you guys on this one if you don't mind...

stock are rubber, go with a poly mount, I have energy suspension ones on my 85 and 89 and they work great
