precision wirewound

No contest. The low current precision wirewound resistors are usually wound on a plastic epoxy bobbin core with two sections that are wound in opposite direction. I think it's called reverse pi. Then coated in silicone rubber and encapsulated in epoxy. No ceramic anywhere to give it that irritating harsh resistor sound that even Vishays have. Not a drop-in replacement for all applications since they do have a little mor inductance in the standard winding form, but imo very much worth re-engineering a unit to use them, if need be.
