You always want to find a capacitor with a higher voltage rating than the original cap in order to compensate for fluctuations in the power supply (i.e., surges, etc.). I learned this when the capacitors were being replaced on my Plus. A capacitor with a lower voltage rating will not be able to tolerate the stress of the power supply, so try to find one with a higher voltage rating. Furthermore, I would recommend finding a capacitor made by General Electric (or any well-known brand; avoid anything made exclusively by RadioShack). They are very reliable, and will save you from having to repair the Mac again.
