Question What Filters to Buy??

I have a Meade 8 inch LX90 and want to buy some filters. Given that everyone comments on rarely using most of their filters I would appreciate any suggestions.

From information I have already read (Houghy's post) a DGM NPB filter is at the top of the list. Would this filter be suited to my 8 inch or is it suited to larger aperture scopes. DGM also make a VHT filter which they claim is suited to smaller scopes. Would this be a better option?

Moon Filter. Recommendation and Brand, ND or polarised.
Something to bring out more detail on Jupiter (e.g filter number and brand).
Something to Bring out more detail on Mars.


Thanks in advance.
