The yellow caps are fine (I've got 20 year old recaped sets with them still going strong) as long as you don't touch your soldering iron to the side and short the cap by melting the layers of plastic and foil together (made that mistake more than once).
Lately I tend to use the maroon Panasonic caps for straight recap work and save the yellow caps for restuffing (where they are better spatially than the Panasonic caps).
