For a Street Car/Daily Driver: My Verdict: Everywhere but the control arms
DEFINITELY get your sways, body mounts(if you got em), engine + tranny mounts polyurethane, but not the control arms/trailing arms/whatever you got.
My car has incredible feel in the rear with the polyuro, but it's really losing it's ability to drive on the street, after trying to drive Alba + Empire the other day it was awful, I lose all feel over small bumps, on perfect road I can feel every bit of weight transfer and it sticks/handles amazing, but it's almost undriveable on some streets at high speed, I'm worried about going to fast, hitting a bump, and having no feel. I can feel, even with my auto at low rpms, throttle control weight shifts, I can actually steer it with the throttle some, but it feels like it's not a street car anymore, I actually am alot slower on the touge and having less fun than before I put in th leafs with polyuro
Mind you this a car with a ghetto bottomed out truck ex 4X4 suspension so people with real cars might have a different opinion lol

My opinion is that they're great for sways and control arms, but not engine mounts (unless you seriously want to compromise comfort and have tons of vibration). They seemed OK for trailing arms but there are various opinions and I'm probably going to end up going OEM rubber.

I had my first Integra poly'd but without any other work on the ride. It handled really well... I can only imagine what it would've been like with the right shocks/springs. Right now my car has some poly bushings but it's mostly rubber and some of it is almost broken... The trailing arm bushings are about to break and I have the replacement parts but no means to actually press them in/out and it's kind of expensive...
It may be possible if I start early on a weekday and detach the trailing arms myself and bring them to a shop... I'd need someone to help me out.
