Most people favor Oakley just because of it's brand name but Bauer (Itech) makes an equally good visor. I have nothing against Itech visors but I personally like the Oakley Pro Modified because it offers more cheek protection than any Straight cut. There are visors that offer more protection like the Oakley VR901 (close to what Heatley wears) but I think that visor is massive and ugly, might as well wear a full visor. Keep in mind regardless if which visor you end up getting you will get hit in the face eventually.

I agree with Raybot, don't get that tinted/mirrored bullshit, clear is always the best option. It comes down to how much you end up wanting to spend. You might be able to save a few bucks by buying an Itech visor. They're exactly the same as Bauer visors except for the logo on the side.

The only brand I would stay away from is Under Armor, their visors are overpriced and distort way more than Oakley or Bauer.
