I cast my vote for the InRad 400 Hz filter. It offers excellent shape
factor, is narrow enough to cut nearby QRM without being too narrow. A 250
Hz filter is usually too narrow for tuning around, although useful in
contesting and in DX pile-up situations when you are at the DX end.

BTW: Shouldn't this request be directed to the Icom reflector instead of
Yaesu?

Good luck with the filter selection.
