I wasn't thinking so much for me. I use a colour head and before that just used a deep blue and a deep green. IIRC something like #359 and something in the 60s. Worked great for spilt filtering. I stopped in a shop today and the 6x6 Ilford filters were over $60. Could buy all eight of the filters you listed in 20x24" size for about the same money. Keep them in the dark so they don't fade and that's a lot of filters.
