I'm not sure what method I'd prefer when it comes to filters or filters with stepdown rings. But I am very interested in finding out which filters to get in the filters types mentioned!
I'd love to hear what you guys say are your go to filters, since you guys know what works great for you! Also the brands you chose! :)

My go-to 77mm filters:
Singh-Ray 8-stop VND
B+W thin CPL
B+W 10-stop ND

I also have a red 25a, green x1, yellow 25, orange 21 and blue 80a in 77mm for when I'm out with the RB67 and shooting black & white film, as well as a ton of color-correction filters in 52mm for shooting color 35mm film.

I just find a Hoya NDx8 filter. I know it is just 3 stops down. Maybe I should buy it for early evenings shots. Maybe it helps me to give some motion in clouds, water, etc.
Maybe a 67 mm for my 16-85 and 18-105 and a 58 for my 50mm
What you think?

I think it is great. It makes the photos not so burnt out.

I find an ND8 is helpful on bright sunny days at the beach, or in the desert, where shutter speeds can go crazy high at moderate apertures like f/4, even at ISO100. An ND8 gives me a little extra flexibility to shoot at wider apertures (for a shallower DoF) while keeping my shutter speed under control.

Great point, and I've heard about doing the same in order to bring down the shutter speed when trying to use fill flash on a bright day ... but I usually forget about that until after the fact.
