I'd suggest that if you wish to use a DIP or SO-8 version of a single CFA, and attain maximum BW and flatness, on a regular board, it should be mounted on the ground plane side, and the feedback resistor should be underneath on the opposite surface, directly between the output and inverting

Has anybody tried the AD8003 (triple video line driver amplifier) for use as distribution amplifiers? It looks to me like this part might be a decent choice. On caveat, however: don't succumb to the temptation to reduce the circuit bandwidth by putting a capacitor across the feedback resistor-

Have you seen the new THS3491 ? LMH6702 on steroids. This one begs to be designed into new distribution amplifiers: Everything from DC / 1pps to a few 100 MHz into 50 Ohms, without any changes. (the usual gain = 2,    50R/50R out design) rise / fall 1.3 ns for 10V step slew rate 8V / ns
