I've seen different suggestions for resistance but don't remember seeing anything on pot material. What should I purchase(carbon, cermet, conductive plastic or wire wound)? How many watts? What resistance is best? Assume no avalanche current. For 1amp peak coil current and 5amp peak coil current, 1000pps. Other than maybe watts does 5amp peak coil current effect selection? I've searched but haven't found anything on allowable short term peak current.

Ordered two of these for the price. Work fine. Do get warm if you run them for a few minutes. All available Current is not running threw it. http://www.banggood.com/WXD3-13-2W-1...l?rmmds=search

Probably this will ad to much unwanted inductance to damping circuit.

...i just use a resistor and a mosfet. 100 ohm resistor on drain of nmosfet and then vary voltage on gate. Resistor value will depend on type of mosfet. Works with p or n mosfets and later you can control it using cpu.
Pots are too noisy / expensive / etc.

This can be helpful in other construction cases as well:
