If you can afford it get a Miller digital infinity helmet. The display is true color which is like comparing an old tv to a 4K UHD tv. You can see everything the screen is the largest and it has X-Mode which allows it to be used in direct sunlight because it turns of the arc sensors and uses an E.M.P sensor to tell when the arc starts. Also super comfortable. They are on sale at Bakersgas.com right know.
I lucked out and found a very nice swiss made Optrel in a pawn shop for $35.
for hobby use, harbor freight and norther tool brands work fine. In my experience the only last a few years. But to get a better hood you typically have to spend quite a bit more.
