Most if not all certified snell/dot/ece helmets will protect well. The material differences generally come down to other features like weight and balance of the helmet. Helmets with lighter materials like carbon fibre will feel lighter but protect just as well.

If you are looking for an awesome helmet, make sure it's certified, fits YOUR head well, and everything else is gravy.

I have a Scorpion EXO-400 helmet. I love it but when I purchase my next helmet, these are the features i'm thinking of including.

1) modular - so that I can easily access the front facial space. for example if i wanted to get a drink or talk to someone directly.
2) drop down visor or bell's photochromatic face shield.
3) keep the great fog free coating that scorpions have
4) better venting
5) last but not least AWESOME graphics
