Long daytime exposures

i'm sure as my photo above was taken with 1 nd4 and 1 nd2 stacked with a polarizer screw on the lens. maybe if you stack higher number together but i haven't encounter that yet. but if i did. i am good with adobe photoshop cs5 so i could quite possible remove any extra or unwanted colours in the post-processing phase as i generally on principle only shoot in RAW. i have advised other who have cameras capable of shooting in raw to shoot in RAW and RAW alone.

Im thinking of getting one of the following ND filters:

£43.96 B+W 52mm 110 Single Coated +10 Stop Neutral Density Filter - F-PRO Mount
or
£86.91 B+W 52mm 110M Multi Coated +10 Stop Neutral Density Filter - F-PRO Mount
or
£13.75 Cokin P452 52mm TH0.75 Adapter
£7.25 Maxim- compatible Cokin P-Series Filter Holder- By Maxim Foto Supplies
£10.99 ND8 Neutral Density Filter for Cokin P series New

The reason Im getting a ND filter is so I can shoot moving water in daylight.
Is it worth spending £86.91 on a multi-coated ND filter with an APS-C 12mp sensor or would a square Cokin filter give jsut as good results?

thanks

Apparantly the more coatings on a filter the better:

This is with welding glass, adapted into a cheap P filter holder.

Too long and plastic for me.

Yeah ND 2 and 4 aren't dense enough to incure a strong cast and shooting raw won't fix the cast. It would be a photoshop issue and even then it wouldn't look fantastic.
