One little tidbit I read recently is that ceramic disk capacitors are preferred for voltage supply filtering.  For example, if a circuit has a 100 nF filter cap to ground for Vref, use a ceramic.  I had been using a box cap for this, but will start switching and maybe retrofitting some of my older builds.  Whether it makes a big difference in power supply noise suppression will depend on the specific circuit.
