When overkill is cheap, then why not?

The aluminum-body wirewound chinesium power resistors are a common fleabay item, if you don't mind waiting for it to arrive. We have had good luck with those, only about one or two duds per couple hundred resistors, more or less. The traditional hollow-core ceramic-tube wirewould monster resistors are getting expensive. The aluminum-body types are way cheaper.
