[Boatanchors] capacitor kits?

[J. Forster]

I would choose 4 types as follows:

Electrolytics for large capacitance locarions. Either high quality aluminum, or for recent mil gear CS-13 tantalums (surplus)

Silver mica - CM-04,5,6 for RF locations

Ceramic for bypasses. Note, ceramics can be microphonic

Tubular Poly*  to use as coupling and smilar applications to replace papers. * = you choose.

FWIW,

Or would I be better off one of the other dozens of types of capacitors? Can one type be "generally" used for many applications? Or, perhaps I might need 3 basic types to cover most of my bases.  Keep in mind, I will mostly do HF, VHF type radio work. Other stuff as well, but who knows.
