I'd stick with the resistor, as a dead short against a fully charged electrolytic could damage it.
It is also a good practice to place a 200K or so 1 watt resistor across the first filter cap to "bleed" the voltage after the set is turned off. Still takes a couple of minutes, but capacitor won't recharge itself as some seem to do and jolt you when next you touch it.
