I used the 10 MFD tantalums by connecting two in parallel. (Connect the
2 + leads together and the 2 - leads together).  If your putting it
inside the AFM, I'm not sure about the amount of room.  I put mine in
the connector that hooks onto the AFM by stripping the insulation back a
little on the proper two wires and soldering.  The caps fit under the
rubber boot OK.

Higher voltage rating is good, if the package doesn't get too big
physically; gives an extra safety margin and perhaps longer life.
16 V is OK since its a tantalum, but given a choice I'd go with 25 V.
  Stick with tantalum; best in a hostile environment, low leakage.
