This is what I am about to get to replace my worn ones, PolyUrethane has been known to sag a bit as mine have from 5 years of driving but this is great value for what you get. Also worth noting that all 4 of these will fit a VR4, this is not an eclipse kit.

Ralliart solid rubber roll stoppers are the way to go. I used aftermarket solid rubber engine and gearbox mounts too. You could try urethane for them if you want but I dislike urethane. Rubber is a better material for engine mounts

What does it feel like when your mounts start to go? What advantages does it serve going to the poly ones?

You'll notice vibrations mostly in idle, but as you make the engine torque flex (loading it up) you'll see a lot of movement when they are shagged. Poly doesn't crack like rubber, but if it's not dense enough it will sag.

When the engine moves if they are shagged (or sagged for poly) you get false knock readings as well....

Ahh sweet I will have a look at the link mills_88
So what's the benefits of going urethane over rubber?
