Generally, Heliopan and B+W are considered the best.
Except that Gary R. tested some B+W's and found some defective
samples. Hoyas performed a little more consistently, so I've stuck
with Hoya as a result.
Maybe Gary will comment, but what I gleaned from his posts about
filters is that buying them is a pig in a poke.
On the other hand, when I tested all my UV filters on film, I
couldn't see a difference with the amount of magnification I
typically use to examine slides or even the difference between using
a filter or not using one. These included Vivitar SMC(?), Oly's,
B+W, Tiffens, and no-names.
My compromise with confusion is just to buy Hoyas and not use them
more than necessary.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought the point was that even a very
expensive filter, like a B&W degrades the image, not that the filter
was defective.
