Not bad caps, but Sanyo OSCONs better (Violet can / marking)

Use 6.3V or 4V rated caps for Vout lines (core/memory both).
16V rated for +12V input caps

Remember : better to use two smaller caps together soldered , than one big. ESR,current with two capacitors (or more) will be better. Do not forget to put lots of ceramic capacitors. I sometimes use tantalum too, but must be careful with them, if you use them wrong polarity/overvoltage (Tantalum caps have PLUS marked, in contra from MINUS marked on regular can caps) they will burn your PCB to HOLES.

UPD: Evil :-P smile is here
