I often mend/upgrade a varitey of equipment.

In my experience there is larger probability of a electrolytic being dried
out than a tantalum being damaged.

Also a shorted tant is much easier to identify than a wrong value elytic.

This is one of the criteria making I most often prefer using tants,
selecting to double my operating voltage, except for stages where
overvoltage might be a concern where i use elytics.

Other concerns is greater life time, small size, and low leakage.
