Default Which motor mount goes bad most often?

Can you remind me which of our motor mounts go bad most often? I remember reading a post here saying that the trans mount rarely goes bad, but one of the motor mounts goes bad often. I think it was the driver's side.

Can anyone remind me which one I most likely have to replace?

put the car in drive and holding the brakes, have someone give it a little gas. The side that wants to go up will be the side more prone to break first.

both of mine were bad but the trans mount was good.

Recently replaced all 3 mounts on my 2004 SC430 with 124,xxx miles. The rear transmission mount was OK but both the engine mounts had a rubber tear near the top of the mount. It wasn't all the way across yet and would be hard to see while still installed in the car.
