In general, using a resistor for the "choke" makes the tone a bit hairy or fuzzy. As you go over 100 ohms, you will also get some compression at higher volume levels due to screen sag.
By contrast, using an inductor for the choke sounds glassier and smoother. The top end is clearer.

Re: Xpress Debug
Sounds like motorboating, which is a low end oscillation. Easy cures are smaller coupling caps or series resistance. Layout and lead dress are another possibility. Do you have any pics of the chassis guts?
