I've lined the bottom of my camera bag's lens compartments (shoulder bag) with a microfibre cloth (the sort used to clean spectacles) it is kind to the uv filters and have never had a scratch. In any case the lens hood usually ensures that the uv filter never comes into contact with the cloth. If otoh i'm using a lens without a uv filter then i religiously put the lens cap back on.
As far as the rear cap I use the non bayonet type caps (like the ones) supplied with the FA50 1.4 these are practical and very quick to put on / remove. They have a tendency to fall off but i find they provide sufficient protection for a lens in a camera bag. I normally have a couple lying around the bag ready for a quick lens change.
