Ken,
Examine your operating desires for the correct answer for you. If most
of your operation is casual, the 5 pole filters will do just fine -
remember that the DSP provides the ultimate selectivity.
If you are heavy into serious contesting or DX chasing and other
situations where you will be operating in a crowded band with nearby
strong signals, then you may see a slight benefit with the 8 pole filters.
Eric Swartz has a nice writeup on the Elecraft website that may provide
some additional information for your decision making.
