I was planning on using Baader film, I looked through a number of different filters during last June's eclipse, and Baader film was by far the best, hands down.
Greg, I highly recommend the Baader mylar solar filter material. The view is superior to that given by any other white-light filter material I've ever used, including evaporated metal-on-glass. It's also inexpensive enough to make a full-aperture filter for a larger scope.

I just picked up some #13 Welder's glass. The spot is very easily seen naked eye. I need to get a solar filter for one of my scopes.
