Guessing you mean in a 52mm and 58mm thread?
You won't be wasting your money with a couple of polarising filters, they're handy for cutting down reflections from water, polished paintwork, glass, etc. Of the handful of filters I've bought the polarisers have seen the most use.
Neutral Density or ND filters (and the related graduated grey) are a bit more specialised, they're used to take long exposures in order to get effects such as completely flat water and dramatic clouds amongst other things.

Non, only use a filter for a purpose or wasn't that what you where asking?
Outdoors I often use a polariser to cut through the haze and get more vibrant colours and bluer skies.

It could also be colour no. 52 and 58, I seem to remember that from old days.
However, in the digital world I would only use polarizing filters, and the ND grad filter to prevent blown-out skies.

Ditto, I only use ND grads and a polorisor as my filters on my DSLR. It could also be colour no. 52 and 58, I seem to remember that from old days.

I do have some old A series Cokins such as blue grad, tobacco grad, etc but only use them very rarely.
Keep to a polorizer and an ND grad (or a range of them) and you can't go wrong.
