When I call CQ in a contest I open up the filter a bit to allow for callers
who are off frequency. It's actually nice that not everyone knows how to
zero-beat. Otherwise they're all on top of each other and you can't make out
anything.

When I call someone else I'm usually in the tightest filter setting (100hz
for me). I tune slightly off zero-beat for the reason mentioned above and
it's not a problem to hear them.

So I guess I substitute widening the filter for RIT. I'm not a DX'er so I
don't operate split much, if at all.
