I don't know, why you would buy cheap ND filters? The possible degradation in image quality is hardly worth the small money you may save.
For NDs it is not only poor loss of resolution, but also the introduction of a possible colour shift. For instance the Cokin filters introduce hue, which the White Balance feature of the camera usually won't get rid of.
Buy only the few filters you really need, but these then should be of high quality.
