long story short!! remove both the UV and skylight filters. Both unnecessary obstructions that you don't really want to have to deal with.

Although!! after having a quick play with a friends new lens a few weeks back, which had a skylight filter on at the time, I did notice a nicer captured image straight off the sensor, not requiring any tweaking in PP. They were only quick fire test shots, but the skylight filter seemed to make a nicer rendition of the particular scene.
if you are into capturing the image as best as you can with as close to zero processing as possible, only use filters for an intentional purpose, such as skylight or CPL or ND/GND or whatever. Unless you are constantly at the seaside or other such harsh environment, you don't need it for protection.
