As far as I can tell, Vishay Dale Military, MIL-R-10509 Qualified, Type RN55E_BB14 are the best available resistors that fit 0.3" spaced boards such as the MINT, PIMETA, PPA. They have 25ppm, 0.1% tolerances, and are sold through Mouser.
However, Mouser doesn't list available values for this line in their PDF catalog, and their parts searching leaves something to be desired. I'd love it if there was an unambiguous master part number, and a property list { "ohms", 499 } (anyone here old enough to remember LISP) so I could search for nearest values available now in small quantities. Alas, the best they have is textual searching, and sort-by-availability.
I set up a fake order of one of every value available singly, and munged the results in a programmer's text editor, then set up an Excel spreadsheet with the results. I'm posting it here as tabbed text (import back into your favorite spreadsheet), to save others the trouble. Not everyone is even aware that resistors of this quality/size are available.
Edit: I added the RN55C_BB14, RN55E_BR36, and RN55C_BR36 resistors stocked in single quantities at Mouser, and combined these with the RN55E_BB14. This new list contains every 0.1% RN55 resistor sold singly by Mouser, to my knowledge at this time.
Download a datasheet from Mouser, using any of these part numbers, to decipher the part numbers:
RN55 = 1/8 watt
E or C = 25ppm or 50ppm
xxxx = 3 digit resistance w/ multiplier
B = 0.1% tolerance
B14 or R36 = "Tin/Lead, Bulk" or "Tin/Lead, Tape & Reel"
