Define "better ones than OEM" a bit more? What "better" do you want? Do you want solid mounts? Do you want quiet mounts? Do you want cheap mounts?

I am looking for more solid ones, but not so hard I am vibrating the entire car.

Innovative Solid Mounts. But they will cause some cabin vibration. Its not as bad as people make it seems.

it's my daily, so I still want to enjoy driving the car. also my wife rides in the car so I want her to feel comfortable. I can just feel the motor moving when I'm accelerating and not putting the power down for the first initial second.

The best recommendation would be to go with OEM mounts; they ain't cheap, but they are the absolute best combination between comfort and stiff; that and they are typically good for an easy 100,000+ miles unless you regularly beat on the car.

replace your engine torque damper since your a 6spd car, it'll help! Side mount cushions a/c vibrations and the rear cushions almost all engine vibrations. If you want stiffer mounts get the for the front and side, but stick with softer OEM rear for comfort.
