There are very many
different capacitors.
For power supply
smoothign capacitor applications, where large capacitances are
needed, aluminium electrolytic capacitors are the most common
choise. For power signal wire and power plane decoupling in
digital electronics ceramic and tantalum capacitors are
considered as the best solutions. For RF applications ceramic
capacitors are common. Ceramics do not suit for all
applications, because most of ceramics have strange effects,
like changing capacitance with bias voltage.
In audio applications
type of insulation material does make a difference. For audio
applications IIRC, ceramic, paper, mica, electrolytic and
tantalum are all considered inferior by high-end hifi people.
The plastic-film kind (especially polystyrene) are the preferred
dielectric in very high quality audio applications.
