You should be fine with a quad of 3 A./600 PIV Schottky diodes by Infineon from Mouser. You can lower the bridge's cost by using UF5408s snubbed by HIGH WVDC 10 nF. caps. in the negative legs.
Choke I/P filters can produce very nasty kick back spikes. Those spikes can destroy SS diodes of any stripe. You protect the "sand" by using either a HIGH WVDC 10 nF. cap. or an appropriately rated MOV in what would be the 1st position of a CLC filter.
