A critical inductance choke input filter....

will insure that whatever ripple is left at the end of the filter is a sine wave. A cap input filter produces saw tooth ripple and that is very audible and hard to listen to.

For my 300b SET amp filament I use a LCRCL filter and the ripple is a very low and is a sine wave.

I think DC filament heating gets a bad rap because it is normally not done right. Many designs just have a bridge followed by a big cap. Not good!
