I disagree. Use the smallest cap that will give you the performance you need in terms of ripple and dynamic regulation. Anything beyond that is a waste and potentially damaging. Not all arcs happen ahead of the glitch resistor or the HV fuse.

Good designers are paid big bucks to accomplish the job without overkill on parts specs. Learn to be one.
