Which 10k Resistor should I buy?

Hey guy's im going to buy more pieces for standalone Arduino's. (Sockets, Microcontrollers, Crystals)
But I was using old 10k resistors, but am running out. So im trying to buy it on Digikey but I can't figure out which ones to get?

which ones like a good 10k resistors?

Through hole or SMD? 1%, 5%, ...? Wattage? Composition? End use?

Tru hole. 1%, Idk about the wattage, whatever 255 is on analogWrite is max, or HIGH. Idk what composition is.

end use?

Literally a pull up for the reset pin on a microcontroller. Standalone ATMEGA328P

Either 1. or 2. will work fine.

Thanks, I found the specifics on mine and it matched. I ended up just getting a 100 pack(ON AMAZON) for now since im starting out, since if I bought it from Digikey, it would have to be in a pack of 5,000.... And I ain't spending $50 on resistors. Especially 1 type.

I really like these: Stackpole CFM "mini" series
They're 1/4W, in a package the size of a 1/8W resistor.
It probably doesn't matter much in digital at 10k, but 1/8W resistors used for 20mA+ LEDs starts to get worrisome.

Yeah, I like those stackpole mini-series resistors too - that's what I default when I notice I need new resistors now.

(and, uh, digikey normally has the same part available in various package sizes - you can almost always get one of something, and you can filter on that so you can select only the packaging types that don't have the very large minimum orders. Digikey normally beats amazon prices (assuming you buy a few things per order to defray shipping), though ebay sometimes beats digikey (and occasionally beats digikey by a huge margin) if you're willing to wait for it to come from china.

Another consideration is lead diameter, especially if the resistors may be used in a prototyping breadboard. Very thin wires can be difficult to insert into the holes or may fall out too easily.

Edit

Incidentally, for bread boards, the nicest resistors I've used came from a "Velleman" pack. The leads are 0.6mm in diameter but relatively short at 14mm which makes them easy to use.

The electrical specification is otherwise standard ( 0.25 Watt, 5% ) and the finish quality is good (colour bands nicely presented, consistent sizes etc.).

Of course, it is not clear who the end manufacturer is. But that hardly matters. The distributor will simply have delivered a specification, of something suitable for the hobby market, to a Chinese manufacturer.
