"What type of mask should I get.." and other similar questions are one of the most commonly asked questions. Period.
So what type of mask should you get? Like everything else paintball, it's all personal preference. Paintball IS personal preference.

The Golden 1. Always, ALWAYS try on the mask you are interested in before buying. It's the top answer to questions like this and the most educated one as well. How are you going to play well if you can't see or feel well? Whether going to your local store or trying on a friend's mask that you like.
Always, ALWAYS try on the mask you are interested in before buying. Period.
2. Read up reviews. Most people have in their mind what they want, select a couple 1-4 that you like or however many you want. Then, search up reviews and read about them. The mask's ups and downs, prices, and features. Eliminate the bad reviewed ones, but still keep them in the back of your mind.
Then, after you have narrowed it down to 1-2, or a couple. Go try them on somewhere. If they all don't feel good, or not to your liking, try the others that you eliminated with the reviews. If still not, go back home and look up more masks

I agree with your ideas. important is the mask that is used should make you look good and strong, because its function is to protect. but for me the price should still be considered.
