Baader or Astronomik filters

Hi

Time is coming close for me to get all new gear for my, home made observatory which will be finished by February.
So far as gear goes its GSO 12"RC, EQ8 and a Moravian Inst G4-9000 or G4-16803. What would be better a 7 square 50mnm filter wheel or a 9 unmounted 50mm filter wheel? At least with a 9 a can get a clear filter.

I've been look at filters and the 2 brands I choose are Baader or Astronomik. Astrodon is to expensive, so it's a long term goal.
I was thinking of getting LRGB O3 6nm S2 6nm from Astronomik and Ha 3.5nm from Baader. I did read that the filters did have light issues.

What are people's experience with these filter? Do you have any issues with them? Is there any other information I need to know?

I live between dark green and blue, so I do have good dark skies.

Ben
