For beginner HPDE the open face is fine, that is what I use for auto-x because it is easier to turn your head. Once you start tracking regularly a full face is recommended for the extra protection.

Most have mentioned a SA2005 helmet but you might want to get the newest version out there. The SA2010 ones are now available. Make sure it actually has the tag inside indicating that it is a Snell approved SA2010 and not just Snell approved on the outside of the helmet. All SCCA events will check inside the helmet for the proper tag.
