Spark-Doctor:
As the title says, whats the difference between these two capacitors,

Please don't say "one is SMD, the other is through hole", i know that already :-DD I am more interested in why you would chose one over the other.
Many thanks in advance

David Hess:
X7R ceramic dielectric can have a quite large voltage coefficient of capacitance which limits it to decoupling applications. This will also cause distortion in filters.
Metalized film is self healing while ceramic tends to fail with a short.
