capacitor
Go to KEMET and get the their capacitor KEMET SPICE viewer and then you can compare the diferences between ceramic, tantalum and aluminum for the same 1uF capacitor. Also, you can see the diferences on various types of ceramics capacitors (X5R, Y5V, X7R, C0G, etc..).
What you will notice first is the frequency response of the 3 types capacitors.
You must know that some types of capacitors also change their capacitance value with applyed voltage, ageing, etc. Some types are more stable but others are not. For instance, Y5V capacitors are cheap but their capacitance value change too much with the applied voltage.
