You stumbled into a 'hot' topic. Some people here believe using only a fool would use a UV filter merely for protecting a multi-thousand dollar lense, and some believe only a fool would not use some sort of protection for a multi-thousand dollar lense...and some people believe the whole topic is foolish. To answer your question with no bias as to which 'fool' is the 'fool', I would say Heliopan filters (even the UVs ;-) are as good as any, B&W are also very good too.
