    I wouldn't worry that much myself... Any decent multilayer Ceramic or Tantalum would do. Even a ceramic disc + Electrolytic combo would "do" the job. This is just decoupling caps after all.

    100uF at the output of your regulator is way too high IMO.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    The 100uF is mainly for smoothing the DC ripple.

    Thanks. I'll experiment with some other types
