wirewound resistors question...

I keep hearing about the use of wirewounds in the plate and cathode circuits, however, most plate resistors are 100K or larger and finding ww in that size seems to be tricky, especially in the 1-2 watt range. Does anyone have a source for these types of ww and is it important for them to be non-inductive? I have seen recently some ww on Mouser that are 5 watt (not monkey coffins) at around $5 each but they are not noted as non-inductive (RS005100K0FB12)
