I hear a lot of stories about caps not being matched, being DOA, or failing prematurely. Out of 6 Eaton caps and 11 Maxwell's, I've never had an issue.
Keep in mind though that I'm running balance LEDs on the Eaton's in my motorcycle, and don't really use the 11 Maxwells. I've experimented with them, but they aren't being used daily.
My assumption is that people with failed caps either got something cheap or knockoff, or they were unlucky. When you're paying as much as we are for caps, they had better last.
I always look on octopart for the lowest prices before settling on mouser or digikey.
