Ron, it is important you go with what you are comfortable with. If that is Canon, go for it. Regarding filters, it is something you can add later. Plus, now that I think about it, with the 18-55 in particular, since it has such a wide angle and it is so cheap, you might just skip it. If you were to get the 67mm for the 70-300, I would get the multicoated one. Again, it is up to you. I always saw it as a cheap insurance policy. Even if you only put it on in hazardous situations, you still need to have it to put it on. I do not use them on my pro gear, but I typically do on the 35mm stuff.
Oh yeah, I have no idea if OneCall will add a bag kit. You might as well try. Their site does always say to call for latest price.
