Okay.  For me it's either Alpha or Spectrol.  I'll have to decide that
on my own.

But, as for sizes.  What's the MOTM size?  I'll be making my front
panels based on Oakley front panels, which are MOTM style.  What size
pot will I need for this?  Or is the "mm" rating for the whole body,
not the shaft?
