Depends what you're after, but for STI or OEM mounts I found Import Car Parts were the cheapest and they deliver quickly. I went for the STI group N's which were significantly firmer than the shagged old original mounts!

If you're stripping everything down and rebuilding anyway, and you're getting a full 4 wheel alignment done then you could go for Whiteline Com-C's which increase caster, allow you to add camber too if you want, and generally really improve the front end feel of the car. They're about £140-150 and pretty sure Alyn at AS can supply them for a good price.

KYB Catalogue is incorrect. They quote the same part number for 00-02 as they do for 03-07. Therefore, do not order KYB rear top mounts for 03 onwards. SM8101/2 is for 00-02. They quote this for all years but they changed at 03+.

I believe that the correct KYB part number is SM5422, on the basis that the Forester shares the same set-up and KYB do correctly list the change over from SM8101/2 in '02 to SM5422 in 03+.
