Hi Paul,

Mix #2 (µi=10) is certainly the right choice for a LPF 
as Stefan and Tobias have pointed out.
I use it too for my MW PA.
The manufacturer on
http://www.id-elektronik.de/en/index.htm  => click on MW-Components
uses for his LPFs #6 (yellow) Mix iron powder which has an even lower 
permeability,
i.e. µi=8.
