I think about buying a CPL

so far I was in several stores that have them for around 60, 70 €.
is there a difference between brands? (I guess not, but you never know)
is the price ok? should I get a cheap one off ebay?

or fuck CPL's all the way?

Depends on what lens you buy it for.

I've used a super cheap Fotodiox CPL, a moderately priced Kenko one and once borrowed an expensive B&W CPL from a friend.
The Fotodiox filter gives a distinct color shift, from green to slight magenta depending on the angle; it's clearly visible in the viewfinder, but has little effect on the result if you use auto WB and/or shoot RAW.
The Kenko filter works as intended, but got smears on its the surface after it was exposed to rain and wiped with a cloth. These smears don't affect image quality, but I can't get rid of them either.
No complaints about the B&W filter so far (well, there shouldn't be considering the massive price). I haven't used it in the rain, though.
