Had a question on replacing bad Caps. my power board has 4 or 5 bad was just going to replace just them.however a buddy recommended replacing them all.found a guy selling the whole kit for my power board. my question is do i really need to replace them all? i mean my motto always has been if it aint broke don't fix it..any suggestions?

No you don't need to replace them all.
Replace the domed ones, and it's recommended to replace any that are in proximity with the ones that failed.

Use better caps, panasonics, Ruby's etc.

No you don't "need" to replace them all. That is very easy to say for someone that has proper equipment to check capacitors. However... caps can "look" good and still be bad. You may be lucky by replacing only the visibly bad caps, but you may be not. So, for anyone that do not have any way of checking ESR I recommend to replace them all. Caps are cheap, it isn't like you would be spending big $$$
