Yes, generally the higher the capacity the better, but after you hit a certain size you need to start considering cap quality. You only need something that can take as much as 1.55V, so that helps with reducing the size. Black Gate offers probably the highest quality nonpolar electrolytic you can find in the NX Hi-Q series; its performance is supposed to be film-like. The datasheet recommends 1uF for a line out configuration, so you have an endless amount of choices. Don't forget that sponsor ALO Audio, and members EFN and stevenkelby have made some pretty insane docks with non-BG caps; warrior05 made his own BG'd dock too. It's just convenient that the BG NX Hi-Q series is small and is of such high quality that makes it an excellent choice to fit inside an iPod's shell or an iPod dock.

And you only need two wires for any of the diyMods, as far as I have seen.
