I need two motor mounts replaced. One at the front of the engine and side by radiator.
To save money, I want to buy off eBay. I found an entire kit for $65.00.
My local auto parts store was $150.00 for one.
Would you recommend going with the higher priced one, or can I go with the cheaper kit?
Also, what should my time and labor cost be to replace them?

If you are doing it all yourself then it is your call on the parts. Just be sure they fit your exact application. If you are having a shop do it and they will use your parts then I would talk to them about it.
My policy on using customer supplied parts is simple, I do not. Why? Because I am providing a warranty on the parts and labor, as such I only use parts from places I trust to provide good parts and stand behind them if there is a problem.

Labor costs depend a lot on the shop. Time wise, the book calls for about two hours but that time depends a lot on your location. If you are in a rust belt state it could easily take longer to deal with rusty parts.
