I used to go with the Xicon greens but switched to the Panasonic ECQ-B series because of size (smaller), price (cheaper) and what I perceived as a warmer/clearer sound. It's probably all in my head and your mileage may vary.

thanks rotagilla
well i'm looking for polyester film type caps for the smoothness they add to a distorted sound and so far xicon greenies are good enough but still looking for something better in the same voltage rating/size/price range.
