    Cap chemistry/type for refurbing boat anchors?

    After looking at digi-key and mouser I've decided I don't know what type cap I need in order to recap 1970-1985 era test equipment. Usually the power supplies and some bypass caps need replacement. They are usually of the tantalium type. It seems that unless a particular type is known the process of selecting a cap is just a crap shoot; esspically since there 100's of different chemistrys/manufactures/types/models. The caps needing replacement usually range from 1 to 4000 uF and 5 to 50 WVDC. So, for axial caps with high ripple capability, what brand/type/model would you suggest?
