I do mostly CW but every so often head up and do SSB for contests. I also wanted the ability to do FM on 2M. So my choices are 13Khz, 2.8Khz, 1.5Khz, 1.0Khz, 250Hz. I have that combination in both receivers and I'm very happy with the way it works. If I was 100% CW I'd probably have gotten the 2.7Khz (5Pole), and then add the 1.0Khz for CW tuning, and 250Hz (8 pole) for pileups. I find that I often sit around 600 to 800 as well and thus why the 1.0Khz filter works great. It gives you a nice space to run around in and get what you want with the DSP while keeping the ADC's exposure fairly confined. Then when you really want to get in close to someone and pull out a weak one the 250Hz filter always brings a smile to the face.
