Well, how long are you planning on keeping the car? Who handles the mechanical end of things? DIY or pay someone?
New oem jaguar (@ 490 a pair) are probably good for 100K miles and @ 15 years+/-..
Welsh, failures in as little as 5K miles and several years...but others have reported much better results...the verdict isn't clear at this time...$150 a pair.
Other foams, 3 months (a new record low) to some other more acceptable time/milage period. @ 200 a pair...but this company guarantees them for life...

Personally I do almost all servicing on my car, having said that if you are planning on keeping the car I would seriously consider the oem mounts. I do not relish replacing my new welsh mounts in several years and if I must I will go OEM.
I guess the old adage applies; you get what you pay for.
If Welsh stood behind the product I would feel differently.

Forum sponsor SNG Barratt has three options, from cheap n' cheesy to OEM, although their USD pricing is way higher than GBP converted ($253 vs. $187 each for OEM).

Depends also on whether you're a fan of poly. I went OEM. Some offerings aren't much better than Homer's donuts.
