Which Resistor do I use?

I am looking for a 5.1k ohm 1/4 watt resistor. I found this at mouser.com, but it gave me a choice of "carbon film" or "metal film???"
It also gives me a choice of 5%, 2% & 1%???

What would be the correct choice be for the "crackle not okay, built by soulsonic"


(1) carbon or metal?
(2) 5%? or 2%? or 1%?

Help is greatly appreciated!
