Default Replacement for Carbon Comp resistors

You can still get carbon comp resistors at DigiKey. They aren't as cheap as
metal film, but for sensible power ratings they aren't crazy expensive.

I'm in the process of removing parasitics in the final of a 6DQ5 75W
transmitter (1963 ARRL HB, pg 176), and am in need of source for 2+ watt
non-inductive reistors for parasitic traps in grid & plate circuits.
Sources for higher wattage carbon composition resistors seem to have dried
up. Can ceramic composition resistors, such as Ohmite's OX/OY series be
used? They are touted as "non-inductive". Please advise.
