I'm no expert, but here's my two bob worth: Black Diamond make an ice climbing (i think) helmet - the Hemisphere - that has the foam surround similar to the Meteor but seems much stronger and more durable, and with a (seemingly) better shell. Not sure if it takes rockfall as well as the suspension types do, but it's light, comfy, and feels much more secure than the Petzl model. I bought one recently for trad climbs and swear by it, though I've never had rockfall land on it or taken a hit on the head yet (fingers crossed) so I can't really vouch for its performance. Worth a look anyway.
