You're probably using film caps which are inherently nonpolar, so you will have no real problem even if you don't pay any attention to "polarity". However, there are some who think that they should be hooked into circuit such that the leads attached to the inner and outer foil, respectively, have a particular orientation. That's up to you. I've experimented with that factor and heard very tiny differences, at most. But regardless, you don't treat the two phases of the dual-differential drive as + and -. They are just two halves of the same signal that are 180 degrees out of phase with each other. So, if you believe that orienting your film caps makes an audible difference, orient the two coupling caps in the same direction for both halves of the dual-diff drive.

Now I am sure you are going to tell me that you hear a big difference....
