I would avoid the use of any through-hole caps in SMT applications. The through-hole parts lack a base to distribute mechanical force applied to the capacitor, which can easily tear SMT pads off the board. Other than that, I'm a fan of ceramic and tantalum chip capacitors, both work very well. The organic polymer caps are a good choice for cost-is-no-object restorations where you want to maintain an original appearance.
