shorter serp belt + motor mounts

Hi guys,
1995 9000 Aero
Saturday I installed a shorter serpentine belt to by-pass my frozen AC compressor. After removing the original belt, I started the car and listened for the horrible sounds I thought were coming from the cam chain. No bad sounds at all!! The AC clutch bearings were destroyed, however. All other pulleys seemed OK. I dropped the tensioner pulley on the driveway from an altitude of 12 inches and chipped it - a word of caution to others!
For the belt, I eventually used a 6PK2345. The original Saab item (for euro non-AC cars) is said to be a PK2311 but I couldn't get a PK2310 or PK2335 to fit. Whilst I was in there, I noticed that the front lower engine mout was SHOT and that the rear was leaking.
Anyway, my question is what kind of lower mount to buy? eEuroparts has a hydraulic for $100+ and a solid rubber for ~$55. Which is better? I care less about harshness and more about longevity.
Thanks again,
Ludwig
