I would go for one of the "branded" suppliers like Farnell/CPC or RS.
Rubycon are my preferred choice but Panasonic also have good reports.
Some cheap suppliers on the web are not as good.
If you look at the colour of the streaking and follow the wires you could find the exact capacitor. When I have done mostly computer screens I do them in sets of three changing the same one in each of the three guns.
These capacitors are very polarity sensitive so do make sure they are the right way round.
