Hi Darrin,
Either would be fine. I would go with the 0.0068 uF cap. Other radios actually have a 0.01 uF cap doing this job. This cap is to prevent parasitic oscillation and to cut down a little on high frequency.
Generally, any cap within 20% of the diagram is OK. This is a common problem, as nowadays, the caps do not have the same values as before. One can't find a 0.06 uF cap, only a 0.047 uF. No 0.02 uF,but a 0.022 is available, etc. I do not know the reason for the switch.
