I`d use 47k/3W metal-oxide resistor (or, say 2x100k/2W in parallel). Non-flammable, with 200V it`ll dissipate P=U^2/R=0,85W. But, in extreme case - unloaded PS (5687 "dead" or removed) B+ can go up close to the theoretical 1,4142*Urms = 350V (little less, actually), and then we`ll need 3W resistor...
