hi-speed op amps for RF?

I found some jellybeans (LM318TC) with 10 MHz GBW product and I plan to
play. Anyone have any tips for doing RF with jellybean ICs?
These might be a bit noisy for microvolt stuff, but I plan to start with
IF frequencies and move on as the play permits.
Also, anyone play with the new generation of fifty-cent jellybean 100+ MHz
amplifiers?
Those were pretty good thirty years ago, and even the late seventies, but
the LM318 is pretty puny at this point. Not only are there much better
op-amps, but you couldn't do all that much with the 10MHz spec (just more
than the 741 decades ago).
I really don't know the state of high speed op-amps today, but I think
I'd go directly to them if I needed them.
