a couple of things to keep in mind.....
there is at best, a very loose correlation between filter price and performance. I never thought the SR's were worth the asking price and IMO, it's got photo snob/boutique pricing all over it. People mostly vote for filters w/ their wallet
It's rarely if ever someone will look at the image say 'OMG, you used brand xyz filter here, didn't you'.
Dont get a 9/10 stop filter. Variables come w/ their own issues too. Ain't no free lunch. People want different things from their 'water' shots, depends on flow rate, lighting and artistic intent and most of those shots tend to be in the 1/4-1/2-1 second range so figure what you'd need to get in that range and then you can modify it w/ aperture/ISO. Dont forget that a polarizer is usually functions as a 1.5ish stop ND too. With a PL and 4 stop, you have 2, 4, 6 stops worth of ND at your disposable which really should cover 95% of the cases.
I generally carry a polarizer, 4stop ND and Vari (I think both of those are Tiffen, the PL is Nikon slim).
