What about through hole MLCC's? Like this for example:
http://it.mouser.com/ProductDetail/TDK/FK24X5R0J106M/?qs=3DsGAEpiMZZMuAYrNc=
52CMZAWzPNiQZc%2f%2fRMPViAOKhDA%3d

(Mouser code 810-FK24X5R0J106M in case the above link gets mangled)

Are they (TH MLCC's) more reliable than the 0603 SMD technologically
identical counterparts?

Because in the end I could use these, they're almost as cheap as the wet
electrolitics but look way more "solid", if you let me use the term. :D

Thanks!
