I just purchased a new 5D and also bought Digital Concepts filter kit, come with Polarizing/UV/F-DL clear. Is this filter kit worth the $69. it cost? Or should I opt for better filters?

Doubtful. I'd recommend sticking to major brand filters. With multi-coating if you can afford it. Your images will only be as sharp as the weakest component in the optical path.

What do you recommend?

Hoya Pro 1s are very nice and not quite as expensive as some of the other premium brands.

I use B+W and they are well spent money.
