I've used nothing but radials on my macs.

The SMD components look better and may last longer, but the radials are easier to replace when they crap out. Plus I can find then much easier locally.

And I like myself to believe that when one of the radial caps leak, it wont damage the board as much because they are floating...

I like the 'Trim and bend over' approach Uniserver, didn't think of that myself.
