Hmm,
Hoya's is one of Japan's best optical glass manufacturing, so i would recommend getting a Hoya, it costs about $20+? All of my digital lens are using Hoya. My film lens are using Tokina UV due to hoya's limited stock on the smaller sizes. Otherwise Sigma does make a few filters and i think they're pretty good.
I suggest getting Hoya for your better lens, perhaps Tokina for the cheaper lens or you might wanna try Sigma.
In terms of price, Hoya < Sigma < Tokina.
In terms of quality, Tokina < Sigma < Hoya.
If you're really particular about image quality reduction, then no filter = best.
Do note that CPL(Polarizing fitlers reduces about 1/2 stop)
Cowz.
I'm getting one for protecting my kit lens, but I'd like to know which brand/model have filters that won't alter/degrade image quality, and won't empty my wallet? Am I better off buying a glass filter?
hoyaaaaaa
to be honest, i won't buy anything for kit lens

Didn't know Sigma makes filters. Haven't come across that yet.
