The couple that I have done, I have used the smaller MLCC capacitors. 
They are a bit more expensive, but should last much longer than
electrolytic.  As a bonus, I find them much easier to solder since most of
the pad is still sticking out to touch with your soldering iron.  They
also don't have a polarity, so not even a need to figure out which way
they should go.  I know other folks have used tantalum capacitors, which
should be equally easy to solder, but do have a polarity.  If you need a
more exact part #, I can dig up what I have purchased in the past.
