Its a good idea to use as many hi pass filters as you have tracks in your mix. Low end is where a lot of people run into problems. I'm also into super clean and tight sounding mixes, so this helps me to keep things in check.

For a guitar you can start by hi passing around the area of 100hz. For Vocals, try from around 85hz-100hz. Use your ears to determine how much low end to roll off as these things tend to change depending on the arrangement of the song. Stick to using high quality filters.
