you can use a film capacitor pretty easily with something that small, and make a laminated bus like adam built. with something that size, with only a few holes, it wouldn't be impossible to bend the copper plates yourself in a brake and then drill them with a drill press. the C4de is a pretty easy form factor to work with, and has big heavy terminals on it.
i would think something like this would work well:
C4DEFPQ6260A8TK Kemet DC Link Film Capacitors
but adam or paul would have a better idea of the minimum capacitance needed for the controller you're building.
