A choice of mirrors is a matter of personal preferences. Many people like the handlebar-mounted mirror that sticks out the end of the left bar. I found that bike-mounted mirrors pick up all road vibrations and distort your view. Helmet-mounted mirrors are a good choice but you have to be careful how you care for your helmet after taking it off; these have less vibration than the bike-mounted mirrors. A third type is the eyeglass-mounted mirror (my preference). It has the least amount of vibration from road bumps and you move your eyes and head less to check the rear.

Also choose between planar or convex mirrors. A planar mirror has a narrow field of view but gives a better idea of distance and size of vehicles etc behind you, than the wider-field but distance-exaggerating convex type.
