I'm with Sleph. Its not that some of the expensive caps are not better--they are--but you have to look at the circuit that they are employed in. If you are talking about coupling caps between amplifier stages, then you can get some performance upgrades by using good caps. With a guitar tone control circuit, I think its much different. All the cap does is bleed treble to ground through a volume pot. Cap VALUE affects the tone control a lot more than cap type. Personally, I am totally fine with those old .05 ceramic caps that Fender used to use. The newer mylar .047's sound the same to me.
Now, if you are going for authenticity, an old paper in oil cap might be perfect for getting the aesthetics of your control wiring correct. Will you be able to tell a difference? Probably not.
