Replacing the shocks at 75k, should I replace the strut mounts?

So my front shocks are leaking at 75k miles and they are being replaced with Koni SA in a few weeks. While waiting for parts I was contemplating what else I should replace. I figured the bump stops are easy enough and cheap enough to do without questioning and chances are that they're in rough shape knowing a few potholes that ive hit. However; the strut mounts are much more expensive and I'm not sure if they're really necessary or how I would tell if they need replacing.

Is that a common thing to go wrong and should I just add it to the tally as a "while you're in there..." mindset? Are they built like a tank and won't fail for 150k miles or whatever? :

Everything including the bolts is like $380 from FCP so I'm currently leaning towards that route a little.
