   If all you are going to use them for is to sit across regulated supply 
lines, then just about any ole general purpose electrolytic will do.  I 
would personally vote for using the best low leakage types that you can 
afford since leakage = wasted energy.  Especially when you have a pile of 
them in parallel.  ;)
