What brand of Capacitors are you guys using?

Well, I'll probably need a capacitor for my audio setup. I know about the 1 farad for every 1000W rule and I plan on buying one, but is there any difference in the different brands of caps for sale? For instance, is there anything to look for when buying a cap other than farad? I found some caps on ebay for around $50-70. Is there any difference between a Rockford/Lightning Audio cap and an American Legacy cap or any other brand out there for that matter??? The last thing I want to do is spend extra money on a cap that I never would have had to. Any info is appreciated!

im using a .5 fared Monster Cap and its fine. I think the difference your going to run into is some have digital meters on the top of them like the higher priced lighning does. To me its useless to have them because i hid mine.
