Ok, I wasn't going to chime in since the question you ask is like asking what your favorite brand of reel is. Or what if Humminbird is better than Lowarance. Remington -vs- Winchester. Ford -vs- Chevy.
I used to buy the expensive (anything over $40 in my book) sunglasses. My eye doctor (and personal friend) explained a lot of it to me and he said you are mainly paying for the name and not the product you receive if you buy the name brands. So, get the best you can afford and that fit you correctly, but they should offer protection from 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Personally, I will not have anything but polarized lenses. And Yes, it does interfere a bit if you tilt your head when reading your depthfinders (both Lowarance LMS7 and Humminbird 581) With that said, in the last 10 years I have not paid over $25 for a pair of sunglasses. I try to find optically correct glass or plastic lenses. I like the copper colored lenses or the lighter blue lenses. I'm not a fan of the really dark lenses since it affects what I can/cannot see. Having the UVA and UVB protection is what keeps your eyes from being harmed though.
