A lot of good helmets out there and a few really good ones mentioned in this post. I was just looking at them last night myself for winter riding. Right now I'm leaning towards the Shoei GT Air.
Revzilla is an excellent source to get a look at them.

I've used the Shark modular for several years now with great success. i LOVE it!
The main difference is the chin bar rotates all of the way behind the helmet instead of just resting on top like the others. This gives you the ability (if you want) to ride with the helmet open, even at freeway speeds. This is great feature, especially in the summer in Las Vegas when it's 110 degrees out!

First you need to see what you head shape is. Oval, Round, Neutral. All the reviews will describe this.
I have a round head and is more typical of European head shapes, Americans tend to have more oval shapes.
I went with the Shark Evoline 3 helmet, and I like the chin bar going up behind the helmet.
I also liked the idea it is DOT, and ECM certified (better than Snell) and had one of the better ratings on the europe testing of helmets. I lost and forgot the site that lists the helmets and their rating and how they are tested.

Fit is the key to protection. Reading is helpful to point you in the right direction, but you need to try them on your own head to know for sure what fits well.
