Not everyone uses filters to physically protect the lens. I used to but in 30 Years of photography have never scratched a lens or filter so I no longer bother. When not in immediate use I keep the lens cap on. You may need a circular polarising filter for some shots. You do not need a UV filter on a DSLR but, if you do decide to use one for physical protection, then you do need a good quality glass multi-coated filter such as Hoya.
