ESR is Equivalent Series Resistance. Its basically how much loss the capacitor contributes but also affects others things like damping and stability. I haven't gone to RS for components in a while. I don't know of their caps even have ESR ratings. If you can't find out the value look elsewhere. some more specialty electronics components stores might offer more or better options. Larger voltage caps also typically have lower ESR so get higher voltage if you can.
