Get the ones that fit with your helmet best.
I've got A-frames, and while I have Black Iridium lenses for them, I use the Fire Iridium all the time as it works best for me.

And fit your face,
Being able to breath through your nose while wearing them is a plus.

Mosha Marc, interesting, just had the opposite problem: not one Oakley (nor Scott, nor Anon, nor Dragon, nor Spy goggle) would seal properly at the nose bridge, some had up to an 8mm gap because they sat so low on the cheekbones.

I have Wisdoms (awesome, huge lens, never steamed up, didn't fit flush to helmet) and Crowbars (slightly smaller but still excellent range of vision, steam up if I eat snow and get powder in between helmet and goggle gap, but fit flush to helmet and look cooler)

i've an o-frame and previously had an e-frame. I was sceptical about goggles till ti tried the e-frame, but when I lost it (I think I left it in a bar in Fernie) I had to go out and get another set straight away as I now rarely ski in any except goggles - in fact the last trip where I wore sunnies was the original ESOB, and since getting a helmet I don;t think I *can* wear glasses as my m-frames are too wide!
I have the regular persimmon lens and it cuts out quite enough light even on bright days, as well as helping immensely on flat light days. THe one disadvantage to goggles is that although you *can* change lenses, they're not really designed for frequent changes

Helmet and sunnies 
You'll have the fashion police after you!
comprex, my nose is small and squashy (Ex prop!) so I find most goggles either ride up my cheekbones until they make me blink or, now my helmet keeps them down, they crush my nose.

A frame with black iridium lense. Best goggles ever for me.

Wisdoms are the ultimate ski toy! Would be top of my gear list if it wasnt for the new boots! Try to get the yellow iridum lense as it is best all rounder but if you are flush with $$$$ You can buy a couple of pairs of spare lenses for diffrent conditions. There web site has a tool that you can see what the diffrent lenses do.
Just make sure they are comfy on your face and fit snug with the lid ( If you wear one) This is not essential but a big red mark will be the result if they dont 
Happy Shopping
