Prothane or energy suspension poly motor mounts?

Has anyone had experience with both of these brand of motor mounts? Is one softer or harder than the other, the prothane ones are slightly cheaper, which ones would you run? Thanks

I've been running the Prothane mounts since September on my daily driver and they seem fine. There's a little more vibration than with the rubber mounts, but I'm used to that anyways.

Prothane on my car. Car does vibrate a little more but the whole front end feels much tighther. You will like them but you will not like the install

Motor mounts are not a suspension part.

I think i'll go with the prothane ones and if I dont like em i'll get some factory replacments. I wouldnt think there would be a big difference between the two, but I was just curious if anyones used both. I have the es tranny mount so i'm used to some vibrations, and I only drive it a few days a week. Thanks for the input everyone.
