I am migrating my K3 [Ser# 6232] to a K3S with a sub-receiver. In the 
K3S main receiver I will have the following crystal filters from the K3:

2.8Kc 8-pole Elecraft
1.9kc ?-pole Elecraft
0.5kc 8-pole Inrad
0.2kc 5-pole Elecraft

I operate almost exclusively CW in contests and DX chasing. in contests, 
I anticipate using the sub-receiver in a SO2V arrangement, the main 
receiver in S&P and the sub- in running. Given this operating 
arrangement, which single crystal filter in the sub- would be "best?" I 
understand that personal preferences play a big part in choosing a 
filter, yet I'm wondering if there's a broad consensus in the filter 
width that most folks choose, most of the time, in this application. 
Thanks in advance for any and all opinions and advice.
