Use metal films everywhere, except where there is a risk of a large
surge current (for example, the resistors between sections of the
electrolytic filter capacitors on the B+ supplies, where there could be
a significant turn-on surge). Even there, if you use MFs with twice the
rated power of the original CCs, you will be fine.
Best regards,
