MAX232 capacitors?

I'm thinking of building something like this:

Now, the MAX232 needs 1.0 uF tantalum capacitors.

Mouser stocks a dizzying array of Ta capacitors. Any suggestions on
which ones would suffice? (I'm looking for the cheapest ones that will
do the job.)

Now, does the MAX232 need 1.0 uF capacitors? Or will 1 uF be good
enough?

Thanks,

Michael
