I would avoid any/all no-name cheap as dirt Chinese branded caps that have been flooding the market. Stick with U.S. or Japanese brands like:

CDE (Cornell Dubilier)

IEC (Illinois Capacitor)

Sprague

Vishay

Panasonic

Nippon Chemicon

Nichicon

Xicon

Kemet

Rubycon

When replacing electrolytics, go for low ESR and high temp rating (like 125 deg C) for the best possible life expectancy.
