I don't have the wealth of experience as many others here, but I do find the yellow axials a little easier to maintain good lead dress with. I have also had a few instances where the leads were just long enough to fit. I seem to recall the orange drops having shorter leads. Anyone else know for sure? At this point a bought a couple assortments from justradios.com, which are all the yellow axials and have been using them with no issues to speak of. I have not however touched one with a soldering iron. Now that I know about that issue I shall be even more careful!
