Even the 470 ohm 2-watt Beverage Resistors I purchase from DXE are blowing up like popcorn here at my Florida QTH.

For non-inductive loads, I use Caddock resistors in a TO-220 package (so 
you can heatsink mount them).

If you want something serious (e.g. for your transmitting rhombic) - the 
big tubular ones from what used to be Carborundum Corp (now Sandvik, 
Kanthal Globar, formerly Cesiwid)

SP series or AS series.
