I Have the same HGLRC 20x20 stack in my 3s 2" cerberus.

It doesn't need a capacitor really..

.... Buuut, If I need one on the 3", which of the below would be best and why? Ill be putting it on the battery plug wire close to the XT60

From the little I know, for filtering purposes, the larger uF cap used on the xt connection was more of a broad brush filtering effort that accommodated the entire board(s),esc’s and could mask any poor soldering efforts during a build. The smaller uF caps (370) were targeted at fitting to the esc’s which are usually the source of any floor noise due to them managing the output of each of the motors. You can run smaller V caps when using lower cell motors as your not likely to punch through the cap, whereas the larger 4,5 and 6S quads probably defer to the 35V due to the voltage sag and and current draw when flying and doing punch outs.
I’ve noticed on my chameleon ti 6 that they use LC filtering but still include an additional 35v 1000uF cap and I certainly have no issues with video breakup when flying.
Having said all that I’d be looking at a lower uF for your Cerberus, I run those on my baby hawk pro and x140 furibee(25v 370uF).
P.s. I’d love to get a flynoceros 3” set up but the cost in AUD is outrageous.
