Knowing how hot it gets up there in the summer, I think you'll want get the best ventilated helmet you can afford!
(Personally, I love my Bell Sweep R. It looks good, it's well ventilated, and it has a very secure and easy to use adjustment wheel in the back. And it's relatively inexpensive for a "race" helmet.)
