I really don't like chokes. I find that in my bad luck,
they introduce some noise. I can live without the
benefits of a smoothing choke. I like the sound of a
resistor. Seems to "sing" more under higher current
demands. I like the Dale Aluminum housed
wirewounds(25 Watt) that you can screw into the
chassis. This acts as a heatsink. They also make great
cathode bias resistors, too.
