It's a 2.2uF cap, with a 0.125" lead spacing, and I'm looking for 125dC temp rating. I wondered if there were other characteristics such as ESR/ESL I need to keep in mind.
You're on the right track. Get the highest temperature rating available (which is probably 125C), buy only caps manufactured by one of the known-good manufacturers, and select from a parts series the manufacturer designates as "high reliability" (or equivalent).
If it is a solid tantalum, I like the Vishay 199D Series. The AVX TAP Series and the Kemet "T" Series ("UltraDip II") are also high quality. (This list isn't exhaustive -- these are just the ones I've had occasion to qualify.)
