Derek : I think Orin offers good advice. You also need to pay attention to
your network geometry. i.e. Inductance is your enemy. Two 10 uF caps in
parallel are better than one 20 uF. Straight runs of ribbon wire are better
than coils of round wire.

General
Atomics (formerly Maxwell).  They all know what they are doing and have low
inductance pulse rated caps capable of multi-kiloamp discharge peaks.

                Good morning folks,
                
                I have been working on improving the quality of my lightning 
simulator and
have come to the conclusion that I need better capacitors.
                
                Can anyone share their opinions on manufacturers and/or models 
that are
appropriate. 
                
                An offline response may be appropriate.
                
                Sincerely,
