I'm ordering some capacitors (6.3v 100uF) from Mouser to repair a couple that have broken leads on my BattleToads PCB. I've narrowed it down but wasn't sure on a couple of options.

Do I need Low Impedance, Audio Grade, or General Purpose Electrolytic Capacitors?

Then depending on the answer to the above question—do I need:
Extremely Low Impedance, High Reliability
OR
Wide Temperature Range Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors

Thanks.
 
Nichicon PW or HE series and i would check the lead spacing and the case size because when your replacing a capacitor from 20-40 years ago they will be much smaller today so if you increase the voltage to a 100uf 25v or 100uf 50v it gives you a better safety margin and mainly it will increase the case size and lead spacing so it will fit your pcb better.
 
Awesome, thanks for the information!
