I used to do 0805, but now I get mostly 0603. I find them easier to work with when they're smaller for some reason.
For larger caps I tend to get either aluminum electrolytic:
UWF1C100MCL1GB
or what I've been getting lately is tantalum which are almost twice the cost, but nice to work with.
Smaller caps for bypass and such would be ceramic:
C0603C105Z8VACTU
Remember to look at the prices for 100+, because it's like a third the cost.
Anyway, if there's any other options, let me know, cuz those are the caps I've settled on after a few orders. If there's something else better, let me know.
Obviously these are standard for digital circuits. I'm not crazy or smart enough for analog electronics.
