Buy the best you can afford since you don't want to put inferior glass in front of the lens.
There are 'slim' filters for WA lenses to eliminate or minimize vignetting.

With the exception of my WA and my super telephoto, all lenses have a UV filter on them. No flair issues, and a second layer of protection are just some of the reasons to have them.
I have seen filters literally destroyed but the lens underneath survived just fine. Use the proper hood for each one and you are in business.
My fav filters are B+W and Hoya.
