The first link goes to carbon film resistors, state of the art in the 70s but you would want metal film today.  The metal film is more stable at higher temperatures found in tubed equipment.

The second ones seem to be metal film but I can not find any indication of the makeup in the auction.

I wouldnt be crazy about either.  The PRP are generally well spoken of but those listed are the general purpose range http://www.prpinc.com/?mod=product&id=2 and not their audio range http://www.prpinc.com/?mod=product&id=5.  What the difference is i dont know as both are metal film.

I have used the PR9372's in the past but personally i would just stick with regular Dale Rn55 resistors, at least they are a known quantity when used in the audio path.  Having said that i am not sure if they are in the audio path once a headphone is inserted into the socket, in which case anything will do.

It will be fine, the Mil spec Dales are under rated so the 1/8w items are actually 1/4w, and 1/4w are actually 1/2w etc. See here http://www.vishay.com/docs/31027/cmfmil.pdf vs the non Mil range http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/427/cmfind-239942.pdf.

One tenth of a watt would be fine here.  The current is minimal.

I've been a fan of PEC pots for years.  Reasonably priced and great sounding.

The world was made for those not cursed with self-awareness.
