Default Callins capacitor?

Derate tants about 3:1 on a supply rail. That seems to be reliable.

If you have to derate, there goes the size advantage. If the tant is at the
end of a long power supply lead, there could be a spike when the power is
attached. See Williams for more info.

With the risks of tantalum, why not use poly instead?
