This is the one part OEM that I have been told is significantly better than any after market one. Well worth the 5X higher price.

So they say. I am running Meyle mounts, it'll be a few years before we know if this is a mistake but my experience with Meyle parts in the last 5 years has been that they are adequate and reasonably priced.
I recall hearing bad things about some of their stuff from longer ago than that, but had no direct experience myself.
So far since the install of these mounts last winter I have had no issues with them. I would not trust the really dirt cheap no-name mounts, the URO might be near that category. I think the URO mounts are Meyle with the name ground off but maybe with less pixie dust in the elastomer and who knows about the damping fluid?
The quality of the elasomer is probably the #1 important thing in these mounts and Meyle has been making good rubbery suspension bits for a few years now and IMO they have a big enough presence that they would not want to deliberately make a part that fails in a short time. No-namers do not seem to mind doing that.
I got the Meyle mounts from FCP so they are lifetime warranty, should they fail I will be out some sweat and frustration and I will wish I'd have bought the OEM mounts.

If I recall correctly, Corteco was the original manufacturer of these, would save you 70 bucks or so. Usually the passenger side, which reacts out most of the torque, goes first. Porsche or Corteco part number 95137504204

Also, keep in mind that it makes a huge difference if you have a tiptronic tranny in it. The mounts for the 6 speed are different and I found out the hard way that you need to make sure you have the right ones.
