I haven't tried ceramics recently for the horizontal, although I think I have in the past and not found a problem. Even for the vertical, my previous work showed that a ceramic can be used; you simply have to use a much larger capacitance than would be needed with tubular. It would be worthwhile to try .05 uF 6 kV ceramic caps if they can be had for less.
I'm not sure the 3000 V capacitor recommended above is a great idea, since the set will continuously apply 5+ kV DC across the caps.
