Am I gonna need filters for these lenses too? Like a UV, polarizer, etc?

Another question is how useful is an ultra-wide? I do have an epic outdoor opening shot in mind that would definately benefit from an ultra-wide. But if those are the only shots it is useful for I cant see spening the money on it now. How would the 24mm handle this shot? Once again thanks for...

What do you think about getting a T3i instead of the 7d and using the extra coin on quality lenses?
