Find one that fits your head properly. It should be snug with no awkward pressure points. The type of pressure that will give you a headache after 10min. With the proper fitting helmet on move it up and down using only the visor or mouth guard area your scalp should move with the helmet, the helmet should not slide further than your scalp moves.
Once and only once you have done this should you consider any graphics packages for needed cool factor. Hope this helps. Be safe and have fun.

Whatever you like. ... you're the one that has to wear it.

I'd pick the rockstar, the other looks to me like it has a short life of "cool" before
it just looks old. the rockstar will still look good in a couple of years. Unless you
buy helmets every year, but in that case I'd say buy better helmets and not as often.
