Most usable is really the ND filter system. But your question is subjective as there are so many different lenses it depends what camera you have and if you are running pro level lenses, if your camera is full frame or cropped sensor.Do anyone use a different lens and filter besides a 50mm + Circular polarize filter? If so, what lens and how sharp are the images?
But sharpness is a product of optics, the more you apply filters the more you reduce optical quality as a principle. The trick is depth of field more than sharpness tho. Car images are not about sharpness at all, its about really nice depth of field (the area in focus versus the areas dropping out of focus) and for this it is aperture control.
The wider your aperture (smaller the f-stop number) the greater your depth of field will be, and the smaller your aperture the less DOF you will have.
I shoot f4 as a nice balance for full car images and reduce that value down to around f2 for accent shots like having the 5.0 badge.
