You are the first person to tell me about this rule.... everywhere 
else I have read it says resonant. "

   As long as you set the safety gap short enough you won't get in 
trouble with smaller capacitors.  My advice would be to use whatever 
you have, set the safety gap to "almost fire" with nothing connected 
to the transformer, and give it a try.  Others may disagree.
