Go to capacitor brands?

[st0ckholm]

I'm restocking components for a few upcoming builds and realized I've been getting the same cap brands out of habit without really thinking much about it, mostly using electrolytics for audio and some power filtering stuff, what brands do you guys trust and what have you been using, Nichicon and Panasonic are usually safe bets for me, but are there any newer names I should try out, also open to recommendations for good film caps too

Nichicon and Panasonic are definitely my default safe bets for electrolytics too. but for an alternative I use united chemi con or rubycon
