When shooting landscapes with wet plates I assume filters like UV filters and yellow filters are as beneficial as they are for black and white film? How common is using filters when shooting wet plates?
No, most of the sensitivity of collodion comes from long-wave UV (350-400nm) with some extension into the blue part of the spectrum; barely any green. So if you mount a yellow filter, you'll record virtually nothing. If you mount a UV filter, you may see exposure cut back by several stops, depending on the quality of the light you're working with.

Peter, do not use any filters over the camera lens when working with Wet Plate Collodion. They will only make things much more difficult than they already are, as noted by Koraks: "lenses with big apertures and no filters" - good advice.
