Best Capacitors for Crossovers

I am now in the tweaking stage of trying different caps in my crossovers for my DIY homemade 2 way. I presently have and will soon try a 5.6uf 800 vdc +/- 2% Jantzen Audio Silver Z-cap.

I see that Mundorf, V Cap get a lot of accolades, and the Dueland are quite pricey.

Does anyone have a favorite?

I am trying to cross over at about 4500HZ at 6db.

You can buy directly from Chris at the Jupiter website and he is a great guy. Here is the link. He is very helpful and answers the phone.

You can can also buy them at Sonic Craft. They usually offer 20% off and ship quickly. Here is a link to the VT caps. The HT caps are also very special.
