I'm sort of getting that idea.

I haven't had time to learn what the ripple current spec is, but I
would think it should be the best (would that be highest or lowest??)

It's best to read each manufacturer's data sheets, because they seem
to not necessarily spec them the exact same way. There's a lot of info
available on the 'Net via Google and other search engines.

FWIW, I've recently chosen to use the Nichicon HE series from Digikey
after a careful review of specs. But only time can tell ...

I have a few boards that need caps.

One is power supply caps on a JVC a/v switcher, the other are 1000
microF 6.3v caps on a motherboard.

There are so many types out there, I have no idea what to pick.

Thanks in advance

Motherboards can be pretty demanding. I would pick a
105 degree C capacitor with low ESR. Mechanical
configuration is also important -- it has to fit the
space available.
