Although I have the standard 2.7 kHz filter in my K3S, the 2.8 is reported to give a little bit better SSB sounding audio.  From experience with another radio, opening up the SSB BW 100 Hz gives a wee bit better sounding audio.  Emphasis on "wee" bit.  As to the 2.1 kHz, I opted for a 1.8 kHz as a 2nd filter and I've found it good for SSB reception in heavy QRM.  A 500 Hz is the third filter for CW and Digital work.   These are roofing filters and it is the DSP engine which gives the receiver selectivity.

Everyone has their preferences and these are mine in both of the stations on the desk.

I am looking to upgrade my K3S with filters and am using the DX version of the 
radio as a guide.  What is the advantage of the 2.8 KHz filter over the stock 
2.7?  What does the 2.1 KHz filter do for you?
