Any advice on which caps to upgrade on a budget? I have the speedball installed.

Take a read through this until you get to the cap section. It's a good read IMO. The Panasonic caps look like a nice affordable option. I went with the Dayton one's quite a while ago but probably would have done the Panny's for ease of installation alone had I known about them.

That was a fun article and a nice summary of areas to upgrade with photos.  I use the Panasonics in a few of my other builds and have always appreciated their size and ease of use.
