Which brand(s) LRGB filters?

So I purchased the ZWO filter wheel with 8, 1.25" filters. Now I am trying to determine the quality of the filters that are on the market and how much money I need to throw at them to get "quality". Since the term "quality" is subjective I'll provide my definition. "A filter that does not diminish the image quality in an obvious way." For example, make the image soft by reducing detail etc...

ZWO sells a set for $169, Astronimik - $269, Baadar - $379, Chroma - $475, Astrodon - $547, etc... Will the ZWO filters provide me with quality results or do I need to spend more? Is there a huge difference in quality between the $169 set and the $547 filters? Said another way, will the difference be noticeable in the end results of an image?
