Tony C101 or 102 are either or, use a big electro for sensitive loads such as phono pre or a film 10uF for tonal quality for less demanding loads,C104 should be best quality film between 4.6-10uF I used a 4.6MKP4 here but had to bodge the board.I am sure John will be along soon to correct me though.

No, I think you are spot on with that Geoff. The big electros are better IMHO got both MC and MM and digital circuits. that has a lot to do with the LF noise and the sensitivity of these circuits to it.
As an aside it is a good idea to also consider the load the regulator is driving. If it is resistive then fine but if there is on board capacitance to earth for local decoupling right at the load then I find it sounds better if it is either given additional artifical "ESR" or a series resistance is put into the feed between the Salas reg Zobel/output and the capacitance in question. With the Legato I have tried both these and eventually removed the 100uF caps on board altogether and replaced them with a 100nF film and a 1 ohm resistor in series to good effect. I did the same on my B4 preamp.
Hope that is useful.
