Hoods are for flare protection, not lens protection.

The lens hood did a fine job of protecting my 80-400mm zoom when it was dropped to asphalt from shoulder height.  The hood took all the impact and I kept shooting.

Hoods are a much better alternative IMO than a clear "protective" filter, unless you're shooting in very extreme environments.
