I like Joe's list of filters in general. But if money is tight, I would only get the standard 2.7 filters. Filters are easy to add later, and the DSP filtering is quite good unless you have really strong nearby stations and are trying to pick a weak signal out of the noise.

The kit form is a good choice for saving some money. They are easy to build, unless you have serious physical or visual problems.

I have the 250 Hz filters which I use to handle nearby high power (50+ watts) PSK signals. I also use them on CW, although if I am trying to pull something like VP6STI out of the noise, I'll narrow the DSP down to 50Hz to eliminate as much band noise as I can. The narrower crystal filters can help keep the pileup and the up cops out of the receive bandpass which avoids having the AGC make the DX disappear.

I, along with lots of others here, use the Yamaha CM-500 headphones for voice modes. There are some cheaper headsets which have also received good reports here on the reflector.
