50 ms integration time and 5uF+-20% does not sound like a
leakage current problem. Polypropylene seems good enough.
Teflon would be a joke. I might even go with WIMA MKS4
(Polyester) if I had them in the drawer. Dielectric absorption
is also not a problem at these impedance levels and time constants.

When I recapped the electrolytics in my 4274A RLC bridge, it was
hard to find capacitors that fit the board footprint of the old ones.
Usually I had to choose 2 or 3 times the voltage so that they would
fit the board.  But that is a luxury problem. :-)

Mouser.com  should have just as much.
