Post Best TIG Welding Helmet?

Hi,
I am confused about selecting the best tig welding helmet. Because getting different recommendations from different friends. I mean I'm concerned about a suitable company for the right tig welding helmet. I want to select among Antra AH7-860, ESAB Sentinel A50, Hobart 770890, and 3M Speedglas 9100.

Personal favorite. I've used a decent miller and a cheapy. This one is the best I've used.

Out of those you've mentioned, I'd go with the Speedglas 9100 but make sure it's the XXI lens.

I love the Miller T-94 and that's what we are switching to in our shop and phasing out the Speedglas hoods.

I have a Lincoln 2450 (have used a 3350,) a Miller Digital Elite and a Digital Infinity, and a Jackson Huntsman. I have used the Sentinel and found it to be mostly marketing. Anything you listed will give you good clarity. The best helmet IMO is Optrel, and they're not that much more expensive than a top of the line Lincoln or Miller.

With all that said, if I had to have only one of the helmets I own, I would keep the Digital Infinity. Clarity is great, viewing area is a little larger (I'm not a big believer in having a huge viewing area, at least for the work I do,) and headgear is comfortable.
