Although I don't have experience with Marumis like Docrwm, a lot of online reviews seem to indicate they are exactly what you're looking for: good quality and reasonable price tag. I'm not in a position to buy new gear right now, but I'm inclined to try the Marumi brand some time in the future. One thing about Marumi; they don't seem to do very much advertising, making them a well kept secret (as I see it, anyway). Perhaps the lack of advertising helps keep the prices down?
Also, the Hoya/Kenko Pro 1 Digital line are worth considering. I have a Pro 1 Digital CPL for the odd occasion when I'm using my DA 18-55mm. Again - good quality and reasonably priced, although I suspect the Marumis are actually better. The Hoyas fall short of B+W quality, but still good. Some people have complained the Pro 1 Digitals are hard to clean, and I can confirm this issue with a P1D UV filter I have. My CPL, however, does not seen to be afflicted with this problem.
