You’ll lose or break the glasses no matter which ones you buy so treat them as a consumable.
If you want to impress everyone get one of those $200 glasses you often see the pros wear.
If you want something that just works get safety glasses either for tool working from a hardware store, or shooting glasses. Make sure they fit with the helmet on and you aren’t staring at the rim or over the rim.
If you are dead set on “cycling glasses” then buy Tifosi. I don’t think there’s another brand like it. Everything else is insanely overpriced.
Yes, they are similar in height. I’m currently using the Arena Max and prefer it over the Radar EV because the Max doesn’t have the top frame and it’s much easier to swap lens.

Safety glasses do not offer UV protection for your retinas and do not enhance contrast on the road surface to make small things easier to see, such as a nail, a staple, or a piece of sharp glass.
The new Rudy photo chromatic make it a no brainer for me. The lenses change so no need for multiple lens selections and they are super light, awesome optics and with USAT discount or a sale very reasonable. I am a big fan of the Tralyx, but love the Rydons, Agons, and a number of others depending on the coverage you need. I will vehemently disagree with the advocates of cheap glasses…don’t put crap in front of your eyes if you value them.

Safety glasses do offer UV protection. Before buying any glasses check the label to see what level of UV protection it has. The Crews Rubicon stop 99.9% of UV.
Contrast is subjective and each person is different. It is the tint of the lens that enhances contrast. Choose a tint that enhances contrast for you. The Rubicon comes in 4 different shades.
