Ceramic disc caps (I have read) are not the best for bypass use nowadays,
though they used to be in common use.
Monolithic caps are usually much better for this and take less real estate
on the PCB.
Also, I believe the older 78xx and 79xx data sheets specified tantalums?
Faster transient response, presumably- which helped stabilize the regulator IC.

I may be trying to over simply this. Each circuit will have different requirements with load playing a part in that. I'm ready to get schooled on the topic.
I see most of our S100 circuits using .1uf and .33uf for filtering the VI and VO on 78xx regulators. I believe this originates from the LM78xx data sheets.
These capacitors are typically electrolytic because of there ability to filter out low frequency ripple and respond to fast load changes.
Electrolytic are not good at filtering higher frequency due to their higher ESR.
Tantalum's are used because they have lower ESR. Multilayer ceramic also have low ESR and are suppose to be good because they have excellent high frequency response and noise filtering.
I've seen comments that modern day 1uf can be used instead of .1uf.
The modern day ceramic 1uf's have much better noise performance and low inductance than used to be the case.
So my question is, can I feel confident using ceramic disc capacitors in this application instead of Tantalum? Tantalum tend to be a bit pricey.
Thanks in advance for your comments/suggestions/recommendations.
