What kind of capacitors do you use?

I've seen many photos of peoples recap jobs on radios + TV's and I see the same caps being used by most guys. I'm not sure what brand or type they are but I'd be interested in using them.

The one's Im talking about are yellow in color, axial caps. Look like polyester or polypropelyne type caps. I THINK they might be made by mallory, but I could be wrong. Where do you guys buy these? Are they pretty good quality and where are they made?

I've always used sprague orange drops, but sometimes they are too large to fit into tight spaces, and the fact that the leads come out the bottom of those can make them difficult to install neatly where a once axial type cap was. Just looking for some good quality alternatives to the orange drop.
