If you wanted to purchase an ND Filter would you consider a Graduated ND Filter over a solid ND Filter?

I would if I knew I'd be photographing a scene that required one. Since the scenes I've done, to date, didn't require a GND, I opted for a B+H filter.

Graduated ND filters are far more convenient but single filters are said to produce better results, you just need more of them. I have a really nice graduated filter and I have no complaints with the results. It was fairly expensive.

I am very happy with the results from the B+W 10 stop ND filter. No moving parts with a solid filter or any vignetting.

B+W you mean from perhaps B&H.

Used for totally different things by most of us. What are you planning on doing with it? I've used GND more than ND, and any rarely. There are also hard and soft transition GNDs too, and various numbers of stops. Can get dizzying.

not the answer you wanted to get but"it depends on what you will be looking at thru the lens, seriously.

The polarizing filter is what you need to be able to blue deeper and add texture and see what you might not have seen in real life.
Happy shooting and be very careful, it is Fall!

I have a variable ND filter, and been satisfied with its results. Solid ND filters can be stacked for a cumulative effect. More filters equals more expense, and more to carry.
To a degree, what you need in an ND filter does depend on what you'll be shooting. Graduated, single density ND filters are often recommended for landscape shots.
