That's a tough decison.
I say Go mid-range (price-wise)
Instead of the Rubies, go with a SgtFang (about $100)
It's a great helmet.

Yes, a pm should work.
There are numerous threads about visors here on the forum,
If you use the search function before you ask, you'll find them (and won't ruffle feathers)
I used a welders faceshield for mine.
ebay has them from time to time (i bought 10 for like 10 bucks)

SgtFang is a Mystery Helmet.

Lowki13, bh-7603 has done some excellent work on his Ruby's jango helmets. Easily one of the best I've ever seen to be a Ruby's.
Honestly, it's all about preference and where you want to sink the $$ into at the beginning. I personally went with a non-dented Bobamaker at the start, and working with it inspired the rest of my armor. Money wise, if your going to spend $60-80 on a Ruby's then you might as well go the extra $40 and get a Sgt.Fang. You'll probably be alot happier in the long rung.

Welcome aboard- i'd suggest getting a SgtFang helmet, or even one of bradleyfett's vac-formed jobs:

Although I think with Bradleyfett you're gonna need to get your own Rangefinder stalk.
Just be sure that if get a Sgt Fang helmet yo fill in the dent! =)

I'm not sure if anyone adressed your visor quandry, but you can actually make your own visor from a welding face sheild. TK409's website has a link to a provider of the visor (I got mine from them about two years ago), then you can just get a template offline or use a sheet of paper to trace the outline onto the visor with some sharpie and cut it out and epoxy it in.
