Equipment Recommendations

I would appreciate it if someone more knowledgeable than I (which
almost certainly equates to anyone reading this) could answer a couple
of questions regarding camera equipment.

For Christmas, my wife bought me my first digital SLR, a Canon T2i
with an EFS 18-35 mm lens.

Which UV filter do you recommend for this camera?

Personally, unless I was shooting in extreme conditions (wind blown sand
etc.) I wouldn't bother with a UV filter, for reasons as explained by Tony
Cooper in his post.

However, if you really want one, you might find the Lenstip.com detailed
comparison test of UV filters helpful:
