make sure it is at least SA2000 if you plan on doing SCCA events. a cheap helmet will do for autox, but if you ever plan on doing track days I suggest you get a good helmet. You only want to put a $10 head in a $10 helmet.

Depends how serious you are about it.
Open face are nice because they're cooler. It's easier to talk to people because you don't have to yell so they can hear you.
If you ever get the opportunity to drive anything without a windshield (like an old lola or a cart), you'll be very glad to have a closed face with visor.
If you ever drive in a car with a full cage, you should have a full face helmet.

If you have a $100 head - buy a $100 helmet...
That being said - I would and did buy a decent helmet. I bought the Bell SR Pro - I have seen them under $200. It has full face protection which I need because I'm a handsome guy and I'd hate to think of all the ladies crying if anything happened to my face.
