I've used these. They are nice, but there are 2 problems. The leads are tiny so it's harder to solder onto them. They also come in limited sizes. Otherwise they save tons of space, so you can literally fill a 1590b with say 6 of these.

If you're handy with some snippers, just hack a bunch of 3x3hole veroboard squares. solder them to the pins of the pot, then you can just solder on to the veroboard as you would usually. You could do it with perf too, but you'd have to bridge the gap with a longer bare wire.
