I did come across this article a few days ago, it's interesting reading on filters. It's written by David Knisley. Though the review only mentions the studies were done on apertures of 8" and up (so I don't know where I stand), but it makes note of exit pupil. It also lists which nebulas perform best for each filter. You guys will make more sense out of this article than I will as you'll are more experienced in this field.
