I would say check out some sites and see which ones you like. I think the more popular ones are the JT Flex 7 and IZE because they are thermal and reliable, but check out the new Dye one and some others.

I strongly recommend you try some before you decide which to get. Everyone's head & face shapes are slightly different & goggles which some people love can be very uncomfortable on others.
Personally I love Proteus goggles & feel they fit me better than any I'd had in the past, but I know people who just can't bear them.

V-Force
I'd have to vote for V-Force Shield or Morph if they fit your head and face well.
The lenses change out in about 5 seconds for easy cleaning and replacement. Since the lenses are so easy to change out, it's no problem to pop them off after a goggle shot or after taking lots of splatter, rinse them off under water, dry them off, re-install them, and be ready to go for the next game.
The goggles have never fogged on me or anyone else I know that uses them. They use a single-lense system, so they're not as fragile as thermal lenses, and they still do not fog.
My old thermal JTs were the biggest pain to clean and keep from being scratched, so my V-Force goggles have been a welcome change. I purchased my Shields for about $42 from www.paintballpx.com. Great deal.

As already said - try some on before you buy.
I have a set of JT Spectra Enforcers - same lense as the Flex7 (I reasonably sure
) but different design on the rest of it. It's a good low profile mask but a tight fit - some people don't get on with 'em too well.
Also be aware that the lenses are a PAIN to remove and clean - the more you do it, the better you'll get - but it ain't easy!

DYE invisions are good, comfortable but also tight so they wont come off. They come with a themal lense and are very well vented
