ITT, how do you convert your B&W, /p/? Should I just use the default B&W adjustment layer in PS or auto B&W configuration in Lightroom?
Nuke it with contrast/clarity/HDR/luminosity masks?

I'm as lost as you with that, but I would buy a color filter if you know you'll be going out to just shoot B+W.
Oh, and if you took that picture, how is the high ISO performance on the M9? I have the M8 and it's hard to get usable pics at ISO 640 and up.

Decompose to separate R,G,B layers and pick the best looking one.

literally no point to color filters with a digital camera. you're just decreasing iq and losing a stop or two of light.

sometimes i only use silver efex pro 2, sometimes i go into PS, do the b&w conversion, mask off areas of a photo and use levels to adjust contrast in a highly detailed manner. there's like a million youtube videos of various conversion techniques. depends on the photograph and your own style.
