In spite of bleats to the contrary, 1 size does NOT fit all. "Horses for courses."

Metal film resistors are excellent in grid to ground positions, as they are inherently low noise.

Carbon composition resistors make good grid stoppers, as they are both non-metallic and non-inductive. Yes, carbon comp. parts can be noisy. However, the noise is function of current and current in a grid stopper is negligible.

IMO/IME, you select parts based on the specific role to be performed. That which works well in 1 situation may be G_D awful bad in another.
