One addition, since my post above may sound biased and I might look like a "believer", too <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

As jennbenn already said, you should make yourself familiar with the effects the UV filter might have (and when) and if they are an issue to you and your kind of photography or not.
Also: there are some Canon lenses that actually require a filter to provide full sealing.
As with all other parts of your equipment, you need to learn your tools, filters included. So, the easiest thing to do is to use filters if you prefer so, and remove them if they could cause issues. Or, the other way, just mount them when there's higher risk of damage (on the beach, close ups of swans, dusty rallye, whatever ...).
