I'll mainly be taking colour negative film (exposure latitude counts for a
lot at this point in my use of an MR meter :-). I may take a few rolls of
Delta 100, but since I'll be scanning the negatives I'm thinking that I
could always de-saturate colour negatives if something looked better in
black and white.

If you were shooting black and white I'd consider putting on a filter that
really does something other than protect your lense and add an external flat
element to the front of a perfect lens that could do nothing but create
flare.
By the way B+W has a new line of multicoated scratch resistant filters.
If it were black and white a filter could really do something. I'm always
pushing a yellow green filter. It only absorbs a stop and improves a shot in
every way, even people; makes for a perfect balance between sky and earth.
The
B+W is called an 060 filter.

It is a natural thing to feel insecure about a new expensive piece of
equipment.
But they hold up.
If they get wet or dirty wipe them off.
