Most of the folks here are using 1/2 watt because that's the size Radio Shack carries in the 330 ohm. In some ways the 1/2 watt are actually better because the "legs" are a larger diameter and make better contact in the connector.
You said you soldered copper tabs to the legs of your resistors before. Depending on your finesse with a soldering iron, that could have burnt up one or both resistors. If you have an ohm meter, check the resistance of your 1/2 watt resistors that you put the tabs on (if you still have them). It's possible one of them is "open".
Let us know how it goes.
