I am looking for good ND filters a 3,6 & 10 stop, who makes the best Heliopan or B+W ? I don't really care about cost I just want it to be sharp with little or no color cast .
 
I use the B+W 10 stop. It's good, but might have a slight warming cast. I'd guess Heliopan is better just because it's more expensive, but I've never tried one.

B+W 10 stop ND filter (non-MRC version)
B+W 10 stop ND filter (non-MRC version)
 
May I suggest variable ND grads? They are very convenient to use, and while more expensive than one fixed ND filter, are probably cheaper than several. Here's a very detailed review of a few of the more popular brands:
. Surprisingly, the relatively cheap Tiffen performs very well.
 
Not ND, but in this test of Polarizing Filters Heliopan didn't do so well. B+W (sort of ) came out on top and Marumi were surprisingly good.

I disagree with this test results. I have both the B&W and Heliopan polarizers and cannot see any difference in their quality apart from the fact that the Heliopan filter is a little bit warmer than the B&W, and it's a little heavier (more solid frame).
