I have never had any problem with just 'grabbing a diode' and using it.
I may be wrong but for the amount of time its going to be carrying
current it may not matter much. Do correct me if I am wrong and have
just been lucky previously.

Subject: [EE] Relay coil diode specifications

What voltage and current specifications should the diode
across the relay coil have for a relay pulling 400 mA at
15V dc?
