Would you recommend this?

Either one should do the trick both UV filters I guess it might depend if one is glass and the other is plastic.
 
The Hoya multicoated one is ok. But you should be careful what you put in front of your lens. A bad filter will bring loss of image-quality.
B&W makes some very nice UV (and other) filters especially the Käsemann...). Another very good company is Heliopan. But as mentioned above, the Hoya S-HMC UV filter is fine, too.
 
So using the hoya, I shouldn't expect any image quality loss? I plan on shooting some snowy scenes and my only concern is to protect the lens. Other than conditions that may damage my lens, I wouldn't use a filter.
 
Any filter will degrade the image. Period. Put the best glass you can afford in front and only when needed (like it sounds like you are doing). In my experience Hoya's are just ok. I'll second the rec for B&W/Schneider. Fantastic glass and really doesnt cost that much.
