M42 doesn't really need a filter if the sky is dark but a UHC or O-III will give it some extra punch particularly in the city. M45 or the Pleiades just requires low power with about a 2 deg. field minimum. A filter wont do anything to enhance the reflection nebula surrounding the cluster. A very dark sky may help see it without filter.
