Default ? on neon light as static discharge device

Is a metal-oxide resistor the same thing as a metal-film resistor? Or would
that be inductive and mess with my incoming signal?

=========================
Dave , My apology , I meant indeed metal 'film' resistor.

BTW, this brings up another question: I have read that carbon composition
resistors have a small amount of capacitive reactance due to the tiny
particles that make up their mass, and should not be used for RF projects.
But metal film resistors are inductive. So what kind of resistors should I
be using in my RF projects? Is there a third type?

Thanks,

Dave
