The cheap Made in India ones (Anchor, etc) don't seem to work well or last, and poly-filling them makes them too stiff, at least w/ a backer support needed to make the poly work.
I solved a great deal of my vibrations by changing out the motor mounts along with the tranny mount, the u joint mount, and the differential mount. Might be worth a check.
