What I usually do is more or less go for a critical inductance input choke (sometimes slightly under the calculated numbers) and an additional (usually 2.5-5H) filtering choke for SE . I always place a small value cap after the rectifier . Neither of the chokes have anything like a 20 ohm DCR but have a much higher F.O.M of your Stancor chokes , no matter what you do to the leadouts :) In terms of relative DCR that F.O.M thing has a lot going for it . Have you just distorted the requirement for inductance that your first mentor used and just gone to low mass like your current mentor uses ? You know , the one with the cowboy hat , cowboy logic and the mudpumps...
On a side note I have a humungous new old stock 3H choke . 4 ohms DCR 1A rated . It weighs 15kgs .
Try fitting that on a chassis . Work out the F.O.M of it :)
