Macro filters are garbage. You have a very very limited range of focus, then they edges are a total mess as well. If you wanna do macro forgot those and save up for a actual macro lens. Cheapest one are the Sigma 105, Tokina 100, Tamron 90 at sigma4less for about $330

Really? … A lense would get THAT much better macro results that the macro filters?

Like day & night difference?

Which one would you recommend over the others/if any?

any of the ones I mentioned would be excellent. You really cant go wron with any. YES the difference would be MORE then night and day. you get true 1:1 magnification, optically quality that is very hard to beat. Once you try a real macro lens you will say WOW these filters are JUNK.  
here is a few shots with my sigma 150mm Macro  
if you would get a macro lens…Dont get discouraged at first…i takes some time to get use to it

here is a Forum part on the Canon forum ALL on macro. you will see the image quality of a true macro lens looking at the shots people take over there
