Good brand caps?

Of course they must be 4x the intended capacitance for paralleing, this helps alot in automotive applications

so... I should've bought caps with a larger ripple rating? something like 1.4A?

Just use whatever you've got. Worst case it blows up again and you can try something beefier. If the replacement part is the same physical size as the old one then it'll be close enough, because higher-current caps are larger.
