Well, it´s not so easy to answer. As you probably know - everything in analog electronics is a compromise. The resistor selection (as well as selection of all other parts) depends on your requirements resp.the order of requirements. That means: which property of the filter is most important (tolerance, temp-co, cost, reliabilty, parasitics, ....)?
In this context, it is important to know the frequency range of your filter.
In general, one can say that metal film and wirewound resistors have good tolerances and and a low temperature coeff. As metal types are cheaper they are widely utilized in filter techniques. However, wirewound types are bad as far as parasitics are concerned.
