Hi Tony,
This is where you start getting all kinds of different opinions. So I will only speak of what I use and prefer. As I have mentioned in other threads, The Mundorf TubeCaps are exceptional poly caps on their own. What I use as a bypass is a .01uF - .22uF (.10uF as a norm) V-Cap Telon or SoniCap Platinum Teflon unit. Going larger would not hurt anything but I am not sure the additional cost would benefit you as much (plus the .47uF Teflon units are huge capacitors and are costly).

Just be sure to secure the bypass capacitor's lead as close to the main capacitor as possible. The Mundorf TubeCaps have very short leads, about 1/2" and this is where I attach the bypass units.

There are those who will tell you that a bypass is not needed in this application so I will leave that up to you as I am not hear to ignite a debate rather voicing [my] personal preferences.
