    Thanks neuro and others, I think I'm leaning towards the B+W 77mm Kaesemann XS-Pro Circular Polarizer MRC Nano Filter; The Tiffen that I have now is pretty decent, I just don't like how I can't mount a lens cap to it. I'm considering spending this much $ on the filter ~$200 since it seems to be high quality and I can put it on my two landscape lenses. I'm not sure if I'm ready to spend that much cash right now though and may wait for a sale or a deal from someone as I'm trying to save up for a new lens as well.

    Hi, I have the same two lenses (10-22 and 24-105), both with permanently attached Hoya Pro1 UV-filters that are rather slim. My 77 mm CPL is a basic Hoya HMC polarizer that you wouldn’t call slim, and when they are stacked (Hoya Pro1 + Hoya HMC CPL) on the 10-22 there’s mechanical vignetting up to around 12 mm focal length. However - as already mentioned - the CPL effect at really wide angels is tricky since the CPL effect highly depends on the shooting angle (vs. the sun). By experience I avoid focal lengths below around 16-17 mm when using the CPL, so for me the mechanical vignetting at 10-12 mm isn’t really an issue.
