As JAAP says, linear is fine. Avoid to older swing out M as they have a green cast , correctable with grey card balance. Later swing outs are fine as is the current.

 

Polas are useful for reflections, but really not necessary for blue skies with digital. Photoshop is better specially with wide lenses.

A Polfilter does more than remove reflections and darken skies. It intensifies and "flattens" colours as well and modifies contrast transitions. The effect is impossible to duplicate fully in postprocessing, to the extent that the "polarisation filter" plugin that B&W introduced a few years ago was an utter failure.

You are right about wideangles. As the polarisation effect is dependent on the angle of the light, the effect will be uneven on a wideangle shot.
