So I'm thinking about picking up a polarizing filter this weekend, is it bad that I don't have any filters at this point whatsoever? Should I have a basic UV filter just for protection?

I was looking at the Hoya 55 mm Circular Polarizer, and a Hoya 55mm UV HMC Filter as well.
Depends on what your lens costs IMHO.

Also, be aware that you might have to take the UV off when you put other lenses on. I didn't notice the vigntetting in my viewfinder the first time I stacked filters.

And if you want a filter system that will give you tons of room to grow, look at the Cokin P system. It's bulky though, compared to round filters.
