My wife is getting me a xmas present and needs to know.  Which would you get if you had the choice and price doesn't matter:

I'd say go with the one that fits you best and fairs better with your back while aero. They're going to have a different fit. And the aero benefit will depend on how it interacts with you.

Well the problem is, I will have to do an online order without trying it on, I guess I could try it on and send it back if it doesn't work.

What kind of helmet do you have now? I have a Giro road helmet that fit me fine, so I ordered the Giro aero helmet you listed above and it fits me great.

Can be a crapshoot depending on how your head is shaped and how the helmet fits you. Not really an easy question to answer without just trying the thing on.

The LG Rocket for 2008 has a lower price $126. I have found a few on-line stores have the new one listed for less money and those places with '07 stock have the higher prices...just FYI.

I'll second the notion that you should get the one that fits you best.  The difference among them isn't all that much, and the worst of the bunch is still far better than a regular helmet.

BTW, I have a Giro Advantage 2 and like it.
