For the filter caps, for the first rectifier cap my personal recommendation is High ripple electrolytics (Rubycon/Panasonic/Nichichon) or film capacitors. The value should be as close as possible to the original.
This below is an excellent cap for you specific case. It has 560mA ripple current. On top of which it is 10,000 hrs, 105C-rated cap.

For the second cap you could use the same cap, or any general purpose electrolytic cap of good quality (same manufacturers). Also for this cap you could exceed the original value, so 33uF/47uF/56uF are still OK.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
