Omni users, if you could have only two optional filters for CW, what would
they be and in which IF(s)? My guess would be a 500Hz in each IF. But that is
the only combination I've tried...

I would put a 250 Hz. in one of those slots. When I use 500 Hz. I
seldom find a need for the second filter (the one in the first IF, which
is also 500 Hz.). However, there are times when I am glad to have a
very narrow 250 Hz. filter around. At those times, I usually throw in
all the filters I have. I also find that I cannot tune around with the
250, I have to use the 500 for that; the narrow one is too touchy.
However, I remember a few times, chasing DX, when I had clear copy on
the 250 plus 500, while the two 500s left the DX in the middle of a pile
of callers.
