I have used all kinds of relays from Radio Shack to surplus.  If you use
DPDT at least 10 amp contacts and parallel the contacts, I have not noticed
any deterioration.  Occasionally there will be a problem, but keying down
with the amp (NOT hot switching) will fix it.  I envision that there is a
bug or spider web that is evaporated by the power...

By the way, using 24v on 12v relays helps too.  They pull in better.
