It seems the 250 or 200 may be too limited in application so given the above would you suggest the 400 Hz 8 pole or the matching 500 Hz 5 pole filters?

I disagree.  I have switched to full-time use of 200hz 5-pole filters in both receivers for cw, configured as 300hz bandwidth in CONFIG menu.  My width is typically set at 300hz.  For contesting (running and S&P) and 160M dx'ing, this works exceptionally well for me and I feel no need for a wider cw roofing filter.
