I'll echo.
In general - a firmer rubber style mount is almost always a good thing. If the car is a few years old, even a stock replacement can be upgrade as stuff does wear out.

Solid has no business on the street in 95% of applications.

Buy the "comfort" versions of mounts and you'll be happy

I had a ACT 6 puck with a ACT streetlite flywheel, and it was the absolute WORST CLUTCH EVER! It chattered, it had a millimeter of engagement, was horribly stiff.

I now have a Exedy stage 1 (organic sprung) with the same ACT streetlite flywheel and its heaven.

The 6spd has a 18lbs flywheel, the lightweight ones are 15lbs. THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE TO COMPARE a 5spd vs 6spd. Yes its a tad better but not worth it in our opinion for a daily driven street car.

our favorite combo for a 6spd is RPS clutch kit, stock flywheel, swepco gear oil..........ZERO complaints to date.

my $0.02

Damn. That's good info Noah.

And yeah I got mad NVH on decel in my 2.0. I thought something was broke for a while. Get used to it. Not nearly as loud as my perrin 3 inch.
