I use Sprague Atoms or film caps like Solen. The only reason you will need a cap over 80uf is if you don't use chokes. Use chokes. The best electrolytic is no electrolytic. The Atoms are very reliable.

Sound. As Smoky says "Only you..." Bad caps sound bad, good caps have less of a negative impact. Stay away from the real cheap ones. Look for Lower ESR. The less capacitance you use, the less negative impact it will have. If you want a fru fru electrolytic cap shootout, I am sure you will get it, it is worthless. Go with quality and improve your circuit to get better sound.
