I think it's impossible to accurately construct set of filters that will not miss anything interesting and will cut off fluff at the same time. Some filters like PostRank try to determine post popularity by social indicators but it's not a guarantee either. I'll end up looking through all of my feeds anyway so I am not using filtering actively, I only have few filters set up to quickly spot important stuff like references to my blog. :) Filters work when nature of content remains constant.
