My tendency is to buy the very best I can afford, multicoated, slim profile so they will not vignette on my wides. My approach is simple, I paid very good money for my lenses, so there is no reason to put a cheap piece of glass in front of it. If the lenses you have show any flaws, a cheap filter will only tend to make them worse. I agree with the previous post, B&W (expensive), Hoya (top shelf, they make two price points..) and Tiffen are my usual choices. I avoid store brands, Quantaray etc, requardless of who they claim makes the filter. Finally remember for Digital you want to buy circular polarizers, for film it shouldn't matter....
Just my .02,
