I've heard of mixing different types of caps to meet all the demands of the system. Like, using film caps with low ESR for providing most of the ripple current and large electrolytics for smoothing the rectifier output. I think it's definitely an option I'm going to look into and it's less worrisome to know they're so cheap!
