Fully adjustable with unique ball-and-socket designInstalls in seconds and is vibration-free
I have this little rearview mirror that clips onto my glasses when I bike. It's pretty dorky looking and people have told me that 'real bikers' don't use them.
But, once you get used to it, it's like having eyes in the back of your head. I feel naked without it.
I prefer helmet mirrors over bar-end mirrors for ease of installation and because your body will minimize vibrations that make mirrors harder to use. Out of the helmet mirrors I've tried, here's what I've found:
Neither -- because it's all about the glasses.
I've used a few different styles of mirrors. I've come to prefer the eyeglass mounted ones. I've tried a few different styles of those. The ones I prefer are the so-called third eye model.

I used a glasses mirror (thank you FountainsOfDave for that link) for about four years until the joint wore out and the mirror started dropping every time I hit a bump. I liked it a lot - it sits in a convenient place and the image is clear. Downsides are that it's a little small and can take some adjusting to get in the right position, especially if you keep taking them off and on the glasses.
For the past month or so, I've been using a bar end mirror on my left drop. It's convex and shows more of the road than the glasses mirror, but it's a bit distorted around the edges and wherever it's set, it's set - you can't "search" the road behind you as well as you can with a glasses or helmet mirror by moving your head. The other issue that I've had with the bar end mirror is that if you're not on particularly smooth roads, the road vibrations make the image fuzzy.
After the first week of using the bar end mirror, I would definitely have said that I preferred the glasses mirror for the clarity of the image, but as I'm getting used to the bar end I'm actually starting to like it more and more.
I saw your Personal Rear View Mirror--I used to actually have one of those. It was about the size of a quarter and clipped onto the frame of your glasses. It was meant for bicycling (which is what I used it for).
Looked a lot like this one.
I wear glasses, so this one works well for me.
I have this mirror mounted on the visor of my helmet with the help of zip-ties. I have more bikes & glasses than helmets, so it works out best for me.
