I have VPG hermetic foil resistors that drifted 0.2ppm/year (verified in cal 
lab). temp co. arround room temp <0,2ppm/k. my personal opinion, they are the 
best resistors for stability that you can purchse as a standard list item. Mine 
were < 40usd (4-wire, 0.1%, in reality they are better 0.01%). 2-wire types are 
probably cheaper.
you cannot use standard foil resistors, they drift due to humidity, some 10 ppm 
easily pa.
I would think Edward Petties do drift as well, most likely onsiderably more 
than the heremtic resistors, but probably less than vpg epoxy foil,(there is no 
drift spec against time from him), since his are not hermetic. And also, 
typically his temp drift is worse (1-3ppm/K versus <0,5).
