I would go as far as to say that every aspiring pedal builder should have a multilayer assortment.
They really are invaluable - and so stupidly cheap! £1.99 with free shipping (that's about $2.30) for 100 caps makes them about one tenth of the price of poly box caps.

I personally hate poly film caps, they are just too bulky for many builds, and I loath having to try and get them to lay down flat, to avoid having them sticking out the back of a 1590B.

Here's a pic of a recent build, a Madbean Sharkfin. I only used multilayers on this one (except for the electrolytics).
