Say someone (i.e. me) is looking for something like a 470uf 25v cap on Mouser....
What is the characteristics or quality difference between these two cap choices ?
Nichicon 647-UPM1E471MPD1TDand
Xicon 140-HTRL25V470-RCI was using the cap lists provided and chose a random cap from the K4600 list and then I tried a general Mouser search to see how well that worked, when I realized there was nearly 70 choices to choose from.

So I just looked at costs and such, so between the two choices above there's about a nickel a piece difference.....ok.....is the higher costing cap still a better choice and why? (brand?)
I'm actually fixing to put together a few "project lists" together and was trying to get a handle on the selection process for each. (I have about 100 different caps to look up)
none of the caps I'm going to be looking up are anything really special, pretty standard 105 degree electrolytics and such, a couple may be low ESR, but not many.
