What are the best type of filters for sunset/sunrise photography

At the moment size of the filter isn't important, but knowing the correct type of filter would be appreciated

Read up on graduated neutral density filters. They come in hard or soft. Top half of the rectangular filter is dark, bottom is clear. Soft and hard refer to the graduation from dark to clear. 2 stop, 3 stop, etc.. are the strengths. Higher number, darker top half of the filter. Singh Ray makes some very high quality ones, and some info is on their website about their usage. In addition to grad ND filters, check out the Singh Ray Darrel Benson reverse ND. I have not used it, but it was developed specifically for sunrise/sunset if I recall.

I already have a good tripod

Are they always square, and needing those adaptor in front of the lens?

There are screw-in grad ND's as well, but these will always have the transition line smack bang in the middle of the frame, which pretty much makes them useless.
