I used an f-stop of 20 (and higher) to improve the depth of field.
It won't make any difference to anything beyond infinity range of lens. Dopf will have an importance from < 6-20 ft away only. For sunrise you should set to infinity and go from there with the exposure/metering points. Sharpness will be very good at f8 and you'll need a shorter exposure than f20 = less noise
filters - fair enough! I would say, priority is saving up for non-kit lens. 7D is really nice, better lens, no need to spend too much - Tamron or Sigma are good budget brand - will whip your results even higher. If you can't afford that, pretty much you could sell/swap kit around for lesser Canon body and better lens.
