My helmet is a Bell whatever from Costco, I've been wearing it a couple years and the pad in the front is starting to smell rather ripe. I contacted Bell and asked if/where I could buy a replacement set of pads and they said they don't sell replacement pads for that model. So I would recommend checking that whatever helmet you get you can buy replacement pads for. That's a criterion I'll be using next time anyways. In the meantime I'm going to try to rig something up by cutting up an old tshirt or washcloth or something.
