I think there is no such thing as Nichicon KW. There is an FW and a KZ, but I'm not aware of KW.
If you have KZ, that's probably the best 'lytic cap readily available. Others to consider are Elna Silmic (which I find to be somewhat dull on top) and Panasonic FM (which can be a bit hard and cold). Some people really like the Nichicon non-polarized, ES. Jensen also makes 'lytic caps. Everyone has their favorite. Cost is hardly a factor for that size, so experiment. Electrolytic caps do require some break-in time, usually a few dozen hours.
The uF value of the cap is what determines the lowest frequency that will pass, and has very little effect on highs. In your preamp, going from 47 to 100 probably has no effect at all on what you hear, but the brand of cap does. A higher voltage cap may pass high frequencies somewhat better. If you are really concerned about high frequency roll-off, you could experiment with small value film bypass, but I have never found a suitable combination of 'lytic and film.
Peace,
