Default poly body mounts or rubber-reconsidering

Ok, I purchased both poly and rubber body mount cushions. However, after seeing how incredibly hard the poly bushings are i think this is one place that i am going to put the rubber bushings in. We put the poly body cushions in place on my fathers car and barely had to shim a thing, but it is very noticeable when you hit a bump.
Any other opinions on poly body cushions?? I like the feel of the poly bushings in the suspension, but i am just not sure that they are really a good thing for the body cushions.

With the amount of retained compression I found in my original rubber cushions, I'm going with poly. I don't mind feeling the road.
