I have the stock supplied hood with my 17-40L and I like to use it most of the time. The bad news from a flare point of view is that I don't think it actually does much if anything on a crop sensor camera, but I could be wrong.

I like to use a lens hood in preference to a filter to safeguard the front element from bumping into things.
