I need a new helmet: Suggestions and online vendor experiences

Not sure if I want to go full face or not. If I go open face I'll want one with a drop down visor of some sort. 

Helmets are for fire protection, too.  Something to consider when choosing full vs open face.

This is exactly why im going full face

Does the presence (or lack) of an airbag make a difference in the full-face vs. open debate? Seems to me that I'd rather have an open face if I'm getting slammed by an airbag since they are designed for un-helmeted people.
