I don't know about the other stuff, but the secondaries are rated at half
an amp, which is more than you will ever need for a choke.  It should
work great.  

I think your cap value of .01uf is too high...  What is the current output
of your transformers?  The typical range of cap value should be .01uf
for every 30ma of current.
