Here is a questionnaire to assist in your decision-making process 
Do you frequently experience wheel hop?
Is your car traction limited during heavy acceleration?
Do you desire a more solidly connected feel with the car?
Do you frequently break the oem mounts?
If you answered yes to any of the above question, then think carefully about this last question -
To gain any of the advantages of the aftermarket mounts, are you willing to sacrifice your luxury-car feel and to live with intense vibration at red lights?

I would stick with oem motor mounts why mess with such fine car?? I am actually new to the forum just purchased an 06 TL a week and half ago. Since I can't post pictures just yet I was wondering which motor mounts tend to go out more often? I do have a small hair line crack on the passenger side. It's the left side if you are staring at the engine in front of the car.

62a is not bad IMO. But it will be noticeable especially when you turn on the AC. However just cruising without the AC not so much. Personally I dont mind it and it still feels fine to me. But if you get irritated by vibration I would stick with OEM.

I would not do it in a 5at.....as long as it's not a 2,600lb 5at lol. There's just not much power off the start, you're not likely to run into wheel hop. You're not lifting throttle and hitting the throttle in between shifts.
I have no personal experience with the TL and urethane motor mounts but even in my GN which is over 700hp at the engine, I used the bare minimum- 1 poly mount on the driver's side since it torques up and a stock mount on the passenger side. That should tell you how much I hate stiff mounts.
In the TL I would stay away from poly mounts unless you NEED them.
