If you are buying "glass" - get the best you can afford. This advice applies equally to lenses and filters. If I spend £1500 on a lens and I need a filter - I put a "Pro", branded filter on the front - Nikon, Tiffen, B&W, Hoya Pro series, Singh-Ray. Why ruin an excellent lens with a cra**y filter? Yes, there are some very cheap ones out there but I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole - I want filters made with the same care and precision as my lenses.
