I'm not sure what a UTC filter is? but if it's similar to a UHC filter than there is no need for an O3. In fact if you were to have only one filter, than a UHC filter would be it. A UHC filter does everything that an O3 does but allows for a few extra wave lengths of light through, which makes it useful for a broader range of nebulas. Astronomiks makes a nice UHC filter that I like.
Once you do find the Blue planetary, don't be afraid to pump up the magnification as far as you can go. It handles magnification very well and starts to show some structure at high magnification. Also at high magnifications you are probably better off removing the filter. High magnification alone boosts contrast and a filter will probably make things too dark.
