If it's a daily driver, I would go with poly's. Solids will work, but I hear they can be annoying in traffic, especially if you have a sticky clutch. Poly's give you the best of both worlds... stiffness and drivability. I hear that the solids are great as long as you're not in first gear (stop and go driving).
Yes Prothane are the same as poly. Prothane is the company. And poly is the material. Prothane or Energy Suspension make poly mounts for our cars. Just had mine put in. Like previously stated they are a PIA. I had a friend do mine for 150. Worth the money to me. What a tremendous improvement it made though. +1 for prothane.

when you put them in do you use the factory metal bracket or did you get a new one??
i got a set from energy suspension and have sense been told they dont even make them for the ls1 but i dont have the metal brackets and i was wondering if there is a company that sold them??

i just completed my poly mount swap... Prothane Poly mounts from Summit racing.. around$50
i did mine while my heads and accessories were off.. and i did it as a 1 man job...
only pain in the *** i had, was drilling out the rivets in the clam shells.. kind of a bitch.. hammered in the new poly mounts as far as i could get them in, then used the bolts to pull the mounts in more and closed..
the other bitch was attaching the mounts to the block.. trying to line that up in the frame mount and to the engine sucked.. but once you get one in.. the other 3 are easier...
i got the long bolt for the driver side in, no problem.. then i lined up the passenger side as best as i could.. got a hammer and pouned that sucker in there.. had to hit it pretty hard, but its a 10.9 bolt so its strong...

prothane tranny and engine mounts, couldnt be any happier!
quite a few just do the drivers side since IMO its the easier of the two to get to and the engine lifts from that side as well.
