If replacing engine mounts, do people go for rubber or polyurethane engine mounts? I want ones that will last a while. I've done a search but there are too many threads to sift through.

Just get a solid one from megatron, you get a bit of a drone from the engine and a rougher idle but it's not unbearable. If you get a stock rubber replacement you'll just break it again.

no whiteline doesnt do engine mounts nor do fulcrum they are all suspension specialists, for a poly mount i think only rpw can do them i think.

Solid engine mounts = metal, not what you want for a street driven car. The "megatron" ones are polywhateverthane and I believe are guaranteed to never break (don't quote me on that however). Apparently the softest ones will increase vibration slightly over stock, but as you said - not unbearable.

I've got the hardest ones in my car, and absolutely love them. But mines a manual, so rough idle isn't an issue.

not having a stab here bud, but check out there new "turbo" egine mount range, from fulcrum (who supply whiteline) i only mentions it as a friend of mine who has a toyota, had these poly mounts put in his car and told me besides being great, they also made for a size for front wheel drives, so its a matter of taking in you old mount and they put a poly into the housing...whether they are car specific or not im not sure? on their website they are only listed for most of the hectikal 4's (s15, lines, chasers)
