My 2cents based on 9 years of professional welding:
Miller Elite, hands down. Comfortable, light, balanced, adjustable, durable, easy to change lenses...ect. selectable "grind" mode is handy when your constantly welding/grinding. Fits common NIOSH resperators. also fantastic for low amp TIG welding and brazing.
Miller Pro Hobby a fantastic hood at a low price. It offers the same advantages of the elite only with a smaller viewing area.
Speedglas (AKA 3M) are over priced peices of crap. They work great, and are fairly comfortable, but are simply over priced for what you get. Very little resperator room (surprising since 3M also makes resperators).
Jackson Nexgen: Thick heavy plastic and cheap headband make it very uncomfortable.
Those are the hood's I've had experience with, and HIGHLY reccomend Miller.
