Well if you have solid motor mounts a poly trans mt. would be the closest thing to get a similar fit on the trans. With everything else you have I would definitely go poly.

Stock rubber will do also.

I just hate the amount of play yo get in your shifter with a stock rubber mount. Given it is only bad after it wears a bit. I think the poly will hold up better.

Keep in mind, a poly trans mount is going to rattle your teeth out. If that doesn't bother you, go for it.

Poly mount would work best IMO. It'll stiffen the drivetrain enough so shifting won't be a problem...
