Don't use those pieces of shit.Use individual diodes, and make your own bridge. You have so many more, and so many better choices. There are ultrafast switching diodes, high speed soft recovery (FRED) diodes, any effing thing you can find (and I have found several), and just make a bridge. You can shunt each diode in the bridge with its own little cap, all sorts of goodness.
My take; lose the commercial bridges. They are the resort of the pricepoint-challenged.
