Question Let's talk Photography Filters (eg: cokin/lee)

Hi guys

Found out on Sunday morning that my old Cokin clone filter holder and filters, that screwed onto the front of my 24-105mm lens, obstruct quite a way into the FOV on the full frame 5DMkII camera.

Andrew Murrell was kind enough to loan me his for a few shots, which were much better and bigger, but at 24mm there was still a bit of vignetting in the corners from the filter or holder.

So, what are the recommendations?

For a $2000 camera and a $1000 lens, it's probably not a good idea to have a $20 piece of plastic in front of it all, so I'm happy to go for good quality (within reason).

What are the best (but good value) filter holders and slide in filters for FF cameras and wide field lenses (that don't get in the FOV)?

And where from?

I'll be looking to get a set of Grad ND plus maybe a circular polariser.. what else?
