Which is a better filter, OD4 with 10nm band pass or OD5 with 20nm band pass?

I am thinking of getting some industrial grade filters from Edmund Optics for planetary nebulae, specifically He-II with CWL at 468nm, He-I at 587nm and O-I at 630 nm. These are some examples:

Here is the T-mount I plan to use:

Which would be the better option?

OD4 is good enough in my book and the narrower the pass-band the better in isolating it, although it beats me why would you want to get those filters as these emission lines are in general weak when non-existent for most PNs. Unless you have a really BIG scope.

On a C9.25 SCT.

A lot of PN have more HE-II at 468nm than S-II. Some have good O-I at 630nm. My SCT is a hand me down and visual only right now. Was thinking about trying it for small PN.

Going of this old survey: https://web.williams.edu/Astronomy/research/PN/nebulae/search/index.php#galactic_milky_way

My expectation is that you'll be disappointed, especially about collecting data @ F/10 but a bravo for trying!
