Any Low Inductance Cap recommendations?

I am about to go to layout with a board using the first low inductance cap for bypass. I'm using an X2Y cap. Anyone else have other experience/recommendations?

The inductance comes from the size. each mm length gives a nH. Thus the 0603 size is my preferred size. I tend to use 10u (1206) in the vicinity and a bunch 100n (0603) close to the chip. I admit to consider even smaller (0402..0201) ones beyond my capabilities.
