When rebuilding boatanchor electrolytics, it makes sense to use the 
most reliable, high-temperature capacitors available.

At this point (2014), the best commonly available (in the US) 
high-voltage aluminum electrolytic caps in these respects seem to be 
the United Chemi-Con "KJX" series.

For low-voltage applications (<= 50v), it's the United Chemi-Con "EKZM" series.

Mouser has both, as most of the major parts distributors probably also do.

Other manufacturers have similar lines, and there is always some 
back-and-forth as they improve their products, but UCC seems to have 
the lead right now.

Best regards,

Charles
