A solid trans mount can break your tail housing. Poly mount should be fine

If you are not a hardcore track guy, i'd go with the stock GM onebrand new on Amazon for like 50 bucks.

Took away a lot of my interior vibrations.

However if your car is a strict track car, seems that most people i know have luck with poly.

Poly at the very most. I have solid motor mounts and run a factory rubber transmission mount on my stocker.

Ploy will suit you fine... no need to go any further.
