I know that some people think that paper-in-oil caps give a better tone than ceramic "pills". Reality or myth?

Who manufactures the best/acceptable paper-in-oil caps for guitar circuits? Or are they simple enough that material rather than manufacturer is the key ingredient?

I ask because I'm thinking of re-wiring my MIM Esquire with a more vintage style of cap.

Thanks!
Rick
