Default Macro - Tubes or Close Up Filters

I cannot afford a Macro lens and want to find a cheap way to take Macro images, without degrading image quality. I was going to get some close up filters, but as I am going to be using the Canon 50mm 1.8 lens for my Macro, which is such a sharp lens, I don't want to compromise that by adding some not so good quality glass on top.

I'm currently watching some unbranded extension tubes on ebay, which are manual focus only. Would anyone recommend my trying these? I would prefer to buy some Canon/Kenko or some other good name tubes, but funds don't allow at the minute.

Thanks.
