I have a BBM solid mount and VF engineering tranny mount. I personally love both of em. I hate the oem hydro mount, I got tired of replacing them so I went with the solid. Keep in mind you will feel a LOT more vibration in the cabin. On the plus side my girlfriend now likes riding shotgun more. 
For plugs I like the NGK iridiums and for wires I have the Autotech 10.4mm.

One thing I should add about the BBM mount...There are three bolts that thread into it. One on top for the bracket, and two on the bottom for the cross member. The main lower bolt they provided for the crossmember was too short(total length of 40mm, if memory serves). It wasn't long enough and ended up stripping the first 2 threads in the mount. So I went to Advance to get a 50mm bolt. Problem solved, and I love it.

Make you own. I made one for a friend when he broke stock mounts twice in two weeks. I had a block of polyurethane laying around, so we cut off a piece and drilled a hole for the middle bolt. It worked great.

I have a hybrid mount that is my own creation. You should try it. Here it is.
Start w/ harder durometer rubber motorsports mount and short length of seatbelt from dead car. (black color obviously) cut one slit in seatbelt long enough to pull open and poke bottom stud of mount through. Compress mount w/ v-forked c-clamp to allow the belt to be wrapped around the mount w/ minimal slack. Mark it, and cut similar slit as before. hook over top stud of mount, and release c-clamp. Voila!! you have a mount that will not stretch beyond tension of belt but will still provide damping of factory motorsport mount. (women won't call it a piece of ish rattle trap anymore.)
