I would like it to run even better though... It's starting to get into the low 90's down here in Florida, so I'd like some extra cooling insurance.
Also, I should solder them closest to the power leads, yes?

Have you checked the links under my signature?
The best caps for our ESC's in current form factor would be
Panasonic FM-type. Check datasheet for lead spacing and dimensions, look for lowest ESR and voltage at least 25% higher than you battery Voltage.
I like Atmel's and there is nothing special about finding rotor position without spinning, but tricky :) Solutions available but not every programmer now how to do math (or willing to do math...) on micro without floating point support...
