On the main thread topic...IMO this is one of those questions that has no \'right answer\' to fit every photographer or every situation. I use both...whatever works for what I\'m doing.
As for filters...unless there is some specific reason to use a filter...I don\'t use them. I\'m reasonably cautious with my gear and use lens caps and hoods. I have never scratched a front element or filter in over 20 years of photography.
YMMV
