In my direct experience the slight extra cost of ultra fast soft recovery diodes (Hexfreds) or Schottky diodes is well worth it. Conventional diodes or silicon bridges sound gray-ish and "washed out" by comparison. Of course, any diode one uses has to meet the electrical requirements of the circuit, as you state above. It's just a no-brainer and very cheap actually compared to the cost of high quality coupling caps and resistors (and transformers, by the way). But if you don't like 'em, you are entitled to your opinion.
