The Remedy is supposed to be one of the best helmets for all around protection. I picked one up for that reason, as well as the fact it fitted and came with Zombies on it (an important factor).
However, I found that the very round shape of the helmet looked terrible on me and I ended up resenting wearing it. Which isn't good when you're riding every day! Mind you, I've got pretty skinny shoulders, and don't wear body armour, so that probably made the bobble head look a lot worse.
I'd avoid MX helmets if possible. Not only are they generally heavier than MTB helmets they're also designed to withstand very different crashes, so it's debatable if the protection offered is as good as a helmet designed specifically for MTB.
