I've worn various helmets over the years. Racing required a SNELL sticker. Even a cheap lid is better than none. I've found that the pricey ones are more comfortable and quiet. With a less pricey helmet I wore earplugs against the wind noise. Much more comfy.
Helmets are one shot items intended to break and crack during a crash. They take the forces not your head. Never trust a used helmet or one you have had even a small get off with.
I was always taught that you buy a new helmet after every crash no matter what it was like. Just common sense. But then wearing a helmet in the first place is just common sense and people tend not to do it unless that particular state has a law.
