Well - If you would like to see a UV Visible Infrared Spectrum of my Tiffen
Circular polarizer - http://flzhgn.home.mindspring.com/uv.htm
It is toward the bottom of the page.

The B&W ones are good I think and I like the Tiffen.  I have a 77mm  Hoya
linear (not circular) polarizer that I use on my CAT lens.  It works just
fine and the color is
not shifted as far as I can tell.  I think very highly of Hoya filters in
general.

Be careful about your selection!   I bought a circular polarizer once that
ruined every photo taken through it.  I broke the filter out of it and saved
the ring for another project.
