My suggestion that all caps of a certain make and value wasn't
predicated on the basis of their "survivability", but on the fact that
most failed caps on motherboards are from those manufacturers that used
the stolen, incomplete electrolyte formula.

Those caps have a serious manufacturing defect, and the failure rate is
100%, so if you're going to strip a PC down and take the board out to
replace a few, you might as well do the lot. Note I'm _not_ advocating
re-capping the entire board - just the caps from the dodgy makers.
Luxon and OST.IQ are two. www.badcaps.net has more info.
