K3 CW filter advice request

[RobertG]

Well, I'm in for a K3, and I need to pick some CW filters. I've read all
the threads, checked the graphs, and now would appreciate some
experiential reports/advice. I operate almost exclusively CW, mostly
chasing DX, contests, and some occasional rag chewing. SSB only if no
other choice/challenge. What have folks been using for (1) brick-wall
protection under demanding CW conditions, and (2) looking around and
casual chatting? Data modes aren't a consideration at this point. Thanks
much in advance.

I have pretty much the same operating style and opted for the following  
filters in BOTH receivers:
 
2.8khz    
1.0khz
400hz

I would skip the 1.0 and replace it with either a 200 (if CW is primary)  or either the 1.5 or 1.8 if you do a lot of combat SSB.
