Not sure what might be best, but I am happy with these. They seem well made and have held up well.
Five out of six I bought measured over 500k and one was 485k.
They turn easy and have 24 spline which was what I wanted and couldn't find elsewhere.
I also wonder who else might make push/pulls 500k long shaft 24 spline.

"Best", according to what criteria?
Tolerance? Friction? Construction? Etc?

Re: Who makes the best push-pull pots?
Ive had pretty much the same luck with CTS and Bourns. I tend to go with Bourns a little more often these days, which are almost all push/pull.
Depending on where you get them, they might have an option for buying a higher tolerance...where they go through them and test them by hand to confirm. I think I've seen places offering from between 1-5% tolerances, depending on the seller.

Ironically, I'm replacing a push/push that failed. I've heard that's par for the course, so just gonna go with push/pull this time.

Yeah, the standard everyone uses are terrible. You'd think there would be a market for a really good one, since it works so much better ergonomically than push/pull. I use a Fender S1 switch in one of my guitars. That has held up really well.

LtKojak......... You are correct. The WD500XLPP are indeed made by Alpha. These were the only ones I could find in 24 spline.
