If I had results like that from my filters then they would go staight in the bin! The cheapo filters are nothing more than ordinary glass tarted up a bit to look like filters. Invest in quality filters from the likes of Hoya, B&W, Sigma etc., they'll serve you well for many years if you look after them. You can of course opt for your camera makers own filters, Nikon, Canon etc. They do tend to be more expensive and without the range of choice you get from the independant manufacturers, but then the independants probably supply the camera makers in the first place!
