Flex-o-glass is best and cheapest
I tell everyone who asks about screen protectors to use a product called Warp's Flex-o-glass. The particular "strain" of flex-o-glass I use on my Palm IIIx is the greenhouse film -- crystal clear (see link below). I buy the 4mil stuff. Many hardware stores carry this stuff at .99 cents/foot.
Look at the Warps link below and see the extra benefits of using greenhouse film on your Visor ;-) (no, I don't work for Warps)
--More UV protection - means longer film life because it blocks harmful UV rays that can damage plastic...and your crop.
--Optimum light transmission - lets more direct growing light in, while keeping harmful UV rays out
--Special resins - keep it flexible in cold weather, yet stable under hot conditions.
--Stays cleaner - attracts less dust, washes off easily.
On a more serious note, I cut a Palm IIIx-sized sheet 1.5 years ago and have been using the same sheet ever since, no need to cut into my 99 cent stash! It's bullet-proof, clings via static. You will need to do some air bubble-removal work to begin, but between the work you do and the passage of time, most air bubbles will disappear.
Note that you will always have air bubbles between protector and screen as long as debris (tiny fibers) remain on screen when you apply the protector. I don't know how to get a screen completely clean before application of the protector.
The stylus might feel a bit "spongy" on screen, but it works for me. Some have had trouble finding Flex-o-glass at hardware stores. You can always call Warps. Anyway, 99 cents is worth it for a test, no?
