Many have recommended maintaining hydraulics on the lowers with poly on the tranny and one poly/one stock up top. This is the path I've chosen, more as a lemming than an engineer. The thing to remember is that the engine's vibration and the torque being delivered by the transmission plays against all of these points. Regardless of which link you choose to be weakest in this chain, it will become the 'stress point' of your 'system'. This will make it the initial candidate for failure.
Based on the condition of the tranny and two lowers mounts I've recently replaced, I would notice an improvement if I replaced them with wads of heater hose. I feel much better having replaced them but remind everyone of 'pereto optimal' conditions when trying to draw conclusions.
