I have seven LRS shields, but went with a Clearview wide.

Not sure why one would want a wider shield... unless it is for the passenger. Please enlighten me.

Less wind on the rider and passenger. I have used a straighter profile on both sides then blended into a curve at the top. Mine is not wider but straighter up off the fairing similar to the picture that HBsoldier posted. Mine stays straighter a little further up than his picture.

My favorite all-around is the National Cycles V-Stream Ultra Low in dark tint. For the few weeks of the year that it's chilly, I'll switch it over to a V-Stream that is 10.25" tall.

I went with LRS. I'd do it again too. I went with a 9" Recurve and it came quick too. When it arrived, I noticed a small rub mark in the center that most likely happened in shipping. They told me to keep that one and they'll send another one. I asked them to send a 7" instead and they did. Also, a sale started after I bought mine and they refunded me the difference (if the sale started 1 week or less after receiving, they'll do this). The 7" is good for me but with a rider, I'll put on the 9". Great company to work with.
