Can anyone recommend the "best" eye protection to use for woodworking? Are these sufficient, or is there something to spend a bit more on that are better protection?

There are full face force ventilated helmets that help a lot for sanding and lathe work. They're expensive.
My go to is a regular full face respirator with p100 or organic filters. I like it better then regular safety glass and half respirator, as that fogs instantly and still let's dust into my eyes.
I still have safety glasses, half resp, grinder shield, etc depending on the work.
Great price, but for a +/- $2 difference I would like to know if one is more comfortable than the other. I have the 3M's and they're very comfy, to the point where I forget I have them on at times (I don't wear glasses normally so this is impressive). However, after a recent incident where a sliver of aluminum embedding itself in the top corner of my eyelid despite having goggles on, I'm slightly leaning towards a pair with a bit more coverage...

I've purchased and returned the Radians. I have a wider face and they were very narrow. They do not have the rubber ear pieces. I highly doubt they are really ANSI and/or UV/UVB protected - as the material felt like much cheaper plastic.
