Even a good polypropylene or polyester cap can generate noise if you are out of luck. A good way to check those guys is increase the op-amp gain to the max rail limits and check the noise generation, so you could play with components until you find out the ones that would benefit you with low noise, then reduce op-amp gain to the correct gain. I already made few op-amps high impedance gain, that the input coupling cap + resistor could not touch the circuit board... yup, just in the air, the best isolator I know. Wagner.
