I like polyurethane myself. I'm in the process of replacing all the original rubber mounts and bushings with the stuff. You get the stability of metal without conducting vibration and sound. Summit has some really good prices with different suppliers. As for the connectors, I hear that you should weld the rear in. You leave the front bolted in so you can remove the front sub if you need to.
