I think the Lazer O2 is a pretty helmet. My next helmet will probably be a Specialized though, as I want to see if the brow vent really makes a difference.

Lots of posts that don't take the OP's initial question seriously (including myself earlier). I like the look of a few models out there, but in the end you can't see the helmet while you are wearing it so go with the most comfortably fitting helmet. I used to recommend getting the best ventilated helmet you could, but then I got an allegedly poorly ventilated Giro Prolight and don't really notice a difference compared to my S-Works -which was supposed to be the best ventilated helmet available.
My S-Works fits *my* head a little better than the Prolight which leaves dents in my forehead after a longish ride, BUT the straps on the S-Works are a little annoying. You gotta put them behind your ears after you put on the helmet -they don't naturally lay there. The straps on most other helmets don't have this issue. Admittedly, once they are adjusted, this is a non-issue.
I had a Bell Sweep before, and the 'fins' off the back would get caught on my backpack or messenger-bag straps.
My favorite helmet?

That Teramo looks nice. How much did you pay for yours?

Just saw those new Mavic lids. They look cool. No idea on how it fits since they only had size Small.
