If you do not do any SSB DX or SSB contesting, I would recommend 
the following: 

    8215 KHz                455 KHz             Net  

Yaesu  XF-8.2M-262-01*  Yaesu XF-455K-262-01*  2400 Hz           
INRAD  718-B            INRAD 713-C            1000 Hz
Yaesu  XF-8.2M-501-01*  INRAD 703-C             400 Hz
INRAD  706-B            INRAD 704-C             250 Hz

(*) "Stock" filters 

If you do any serious SSB DX/Contest work, substitute the 
INRAD 711-B & 714-C (1800 Hz) filters for the 7-18-B/713-C. 

You may not find the cascaded 250 Hz filters very usable 
for RTTY as their overall bandwidth approaches the minimum  
required bandwidth (about 220 Hz) for 45.45 baud/170 Hz shift.  
However, the cascaded 250 Hz filters are very nice for use 
on PSK31 in the face of QRM. 

73,
