Cons. More bolts and a waisted money unless you cant weld. Weld them in its the way to go!

I've not run that exact kind but have heard they work OK. I have run bolt-on lower shock mounts for 10 years now:

Mine bolt in between the springs and axle (like a shim) and they have worked fine:


For the uppers, I did a bolt-on like the BudBuilt version but after a few years that round crossmember tube broke on my. I ended up replacing it with a new bolt-on crossmember with multiple mounting points for adjustability:
