This is honestly a matter of personal preference. You want a seat that is snug, yet comfortable. I currently have an FIA rated MOMO seat. Many racers prefer the aluminum shell offerings from Kirkey, Ultrashield, etc. The road race versions from those guys are much more comfortable than they look. The best advice I can offer is to go to the track and ask to sit in different peoples race cars. After the puzzled looks, explain that you are trying on some seats before buying one, and most everyone will be happy to help.

NASA has a new head restraint rule. SCCA probably isn't to far away. Just something to consider when buying your seat

15.17.9 Head Restraint – Side Impact
As of July 1st, 2007 it is required that all drivers employ a right-side impact head restraint
system. A seat with a “bolster” to keep the head from moving to the right side in an
impact is acceptable. A side-impact head-net restraint system, such as the Racetech
RTViperRP is also acceptable. Note- all side-impact head-net restraint systems must
have a quick-release mechanism to aid the driver in case of a necessary egress via the
passenger side.
