If you're looking for a screw-in filter, B+W is the way to go. Just make sure you get the size that fits your lens. Never really had any color casting issues with it, even on their ND 3.0 filter. Personally, I find myself using a ND 1.8 more often though I have both. There are also drop-in filters like those made by Lee, which come highly regarded but are leaps and bounds more expensive. Multi-coating is nice to have, but more important for polarizers than filters. It really depends on how much you're willing to spend. I have no idea what a "hot mirror" is, but I'm thinking that you're referring to a hot sensor or hot pixels. When you take long exposures, with an ND filter for example, the sensor will continue to heat up as long as the shutter is open. Hot sensors produce more noise, which hurts overall image quality. Any filter you put in front your lens is going to have some adverse affects on your image, most of which can be easily fixed in post processing. Contrast, tones, and all that can be adjusted in Lightroom after the fact.
I'm looking into my first ND filter set. I'm squared away on which ND filter to get, but I'm having a little more trouble with the kit itself. I think this ring holder, and this ring adaptor for my Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens should work. Does that look about right for what I'll need to use the 10-stop ND filter?
Also, does it make sense to buy a kit for my other lenses - a 70-200mm f/2.8 and a 14mm f/2.8? I was contemplating both, but the 14mm, with its curved lens, might not be a good fit for using an ND filter?
