    For audio signals, my first choice is polystyrene.  Second choice is
Polyester (mylar).  I have done some measurements on these two type of
capacitors, and there really is a big difference between them (as far as
dialectric memory goes)...however, that being said, in listening tests,
I can't tell the difference...go figure.
