yes metalized is fine. I pretty much always use those in the audio path,
and in my steiner filter. someone said they were better but I doubt I'd
ever notice the difference.
the important things to check are: pin spacing, you'll want 0.2" lead
spacing for this one. and voltage, get about 63V if you can. sometimes
the larger voltage poly caps are too wide and won't fit in between other
parts on some boards.
I'd reccomend a mouser part # but the series I used was discontinued.
probably the same one from the list you saw.
