Yes, the original question was which caps are BEST, but much of my
concern is based on the failed motherboards, which only lasted a year or
so.
Which, as usual, you didn't make at the beginning.
The Failed motherboards were, Dell.
Their "Lets buy cheap ****" almost put them out of business.
And that was almost 20 years ago.
** This old Wiki has the story:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague
The brands of capacitor involved were previously unknown and unable to be linked to any of the well known makers.
AFAIK
the issue never involved electros that might be used in restoration of vintage tube gear.
"tubeguy" is a ****wit - see " top definition " :
