I realize it's best to install Band Pass Filters on both the
transmitter and receiver. But if only one or the other can
be installed, can you tell me which of the two usually
provides the best attenuation?
The most common bandpass filters are rated for 100-200W, PROVIDED that
they are inserted at a point where they are inserted is well matched,
for example between transceiver and tuner or transceiver and amp, so
they will work on both TX and RX.
The major limitation of these filters is that they can't kill harmonics
produced in a power amp -- that requires either stubs properly placed
along the feedline or high power bandpass filters. Here's a survey I did
my lab of the bandpass filters available to me in 2014. Near the end is
a link to a page of links for individual measurements.

This piece on stub placement also ran in NCJ. The second link is to
slices for talks I gave at Visalia, Pacificon, and to several local clubs.
