Any of the well known Japanese brands should be fine. I have used both Panasonic and Nichicon in production of the stereo equipment our company designed and built in the 80's and 90's, and both seem to hold up well 25 years later..
As to ESR, its really more important in switching supplies rather than general purpose applications. Given the choice, I would go with the higher temp rating for replacement use in audio equipment.
Just make sure you buy from a reputable distributor like Digi-Key or Mauser. There are a lot of counterfeit fakes from China sold on ebay and other small distributors.
