I would use three 330pf in parallel. The reason to use the Semco part is lower resistance. It just has more metal in it. Capacitors in parallel will split the current three ways and prevent overheating from the RF current. The voltage rating is less important than the physical size. The larger the better. More metal equals lower resistance losses.

Tolerance rating of 5% is more than good enough.
