For flexibly in you shooting times you will need an ND filter. I only have a 10-stop filter at this point but I did NOT have any filter in use here. I was able to shoot at 8sec shutter by stopping down to F14 and because it was about 20-30min after sunset on a stormy day. I had initially intended to freeze the rough water to fit with the stormy sky to give it that mood, but I was too late getting there to get fast enough shutter speeds and therefore chose to change the shutter speed the opposite way.
But generally speaking a 3-stop would be one of the more useful ND filters.
