All helmets have to meet the same safety standards. I've hit my head hard and had to be airlifted out several years ago. When I went to replace my helmet, I tried on a bunch and got the most comfortable one. It's a Bell Ghisallo, but I didn't go in looking for a particular brand or model. Everyone's head is shaped differently. I like the dial-in feature on the back. It accommodates my hat in the winter.

Yeah, what they said. ^^ Just remember that an ill-fitting helmet can be unsafe, so as long as you get an ANSI rated helmet that fits you properly you'll be fine.

Helmets are definitely a personal thing. I like Giros better than Bells - they fit my head better. I have a Giro Skyla (has a little visor) for city riding and a Giro Eclipse for road riding. Giro has a helmet replacement policy where they'll replace your helmet for you if you get in a crash. Be sure to save your receipt though, because you'll need it for the warranty.
