NB filter choices?

Now that I have everything else coming together, it's time to start looking at NB filters to purchase in the coming months - once the finances recover from Xmas. So after some thoughts I have come down to a few choices. I do most of my imaging from home (bortle 4.5) and occasionally from bortle 2 to 3 sites not too far away. Mostly use my 294MM on 102mm refractor. The only NB filter I have right now is a cheap 7nm 1.25", so looking at stepping up to a full set of 31mm filters.

Options I'm looking at are:

Antlia 4.5nm
Baader 3.5/4nm
Baader 6.5nm as a cheap option, maybe as a temp filler for now?
Antlia 3nm as a maybe, if I can stretch the budget that far.

Possibly buying the filters individually, not much difference in price to buying the set but will let me get going earlier.Can't afford to go with the top of the line options, so I think one of these would suit my needs. If anyone has used any of these or has other recommendations it would be great to hear.
Cheers,
Mark
