Helmet recommendations?

I'm doing my first DE at Hallett in August and I need to buy a helmet soon. The requirement is Snell SA2005 or newer. I saw this on Amazon and the price looks low compared to most others:


I am not trying to find the cheapest helmet, but between my wife and I we are taking two cars into this and the future and it looks like there will be plenty of other things to spend money on.

Questions:
As long as it meets the standard, what else should I look for?
Full face vs open, what's preferred?
Will a $300+ helmet give much benefit over a $150 helmet?
Snell 2010 vs 2015, should I just go with 2015 - does it matter?

What do I not even know to ask?
What color helmet will make the car FASTER?

Thanks.
