Although I'd prefer a handlebar or brake lever mounted mirror, for a variety of reason I've resigned myslef to using a rearview mirror that attaches to the helmet.  Anyone care to offer an opinion as which is the best one out there?

Thanks.

Opinion - Don't use one. I've seen a guy with his eye and surrounding tissue cut up real bad, due to a fall he had and the helmet mounted mirror going psycho during the fall. I know this does not answer your original q, but please consider the danger when using a helmet mounted mirror.

(Blind in the left eye and this mirror positions well with a great view for me...)

I prefer a glasses mounted mirror and this is the best one I've found: http://www.rei.com/product/752285/bike-peddler-take-a-look-mirror

I found that a helmet mounted mirror vibrates more than the glasses mounted variety. It also moves around more and is often pointed in the wrong direction when I need to quickly see if I am about to get run over.

it says you can also attach it to a helmet visor.
