i'm trying to fix an older (1990s/early 2000s) bench SMPS and one of the decoupling capacitors on the output current sense op amp is blown up. the decoupling capacitor is a through hole 10uF, 25V tantalum cap on the +15V positive voltage rail of an OP07 op amp.

is there any reason why they would choose to use a tantalum over ceramic? the SMPS is all through hole, but they have numerous other ceramic capacitors used in the design. whole reason i ask is because i have a handful of ebay mystery chink branded 10uF, 50V rated ceramic TH capacitors on hand... and i don't feel like ordering tantalum bullshit if i can get away with ceramic.
