Basically all you need to know about different phone mounts/styles and how they hold up stabilitywise even in rough conditions is presented in this excellent FortNine Video.
Hmmm, OK, thanks. You trust this guy to give an honest opinion?
I do, there's a whole team behind that channel and I've linked the second revision of their test. The first revision had some issues and they've gone ahead and fixed those to present a truly competent and unbiased testing.
Personally, I'd still treat those as suggestions and, depending on your use case (especially considering convenience of setup and the need for special phone cases) and budget, there are a lot of cheaper options that work perfectly fine, as well. I've got a 10 bucks no-name screw clamp style phone mount on my city bike and it's been rock solid. Wouldn't trust it in a downhill setting, though.
