I run them with no problems. I do prefer a rubber mount on the right side though. These days I don't think I would chance a rubber mount on the left side no matter what, the quality of new rubber mounts is questionable.

Too "buzzy" on the street for my tastes. I even tried just one on the driver's side... still felt more engine vibration through the car than I wanted. Best combination for me is rubber mounts and a torque strap: no "buzz" and no torn engine mounts.
EDIT: I do use what I believe are called Mighty Mounts, along with a poly trans mount.

Depends on your engine really. My 360 wasn't balanced and it would really zing the car sometimes lol. Rubber mounts with a schumacher torque strap solved that. I had to replace and shim the passenger side rubber mount a few times due to it sagging and letting the headers rub the steering. My current 416 is nicely balanced with solid mounts and it is smooth as glass.

Solid mounts or a motorplate is the only way to go IMO.
