Polarized unfortunately costs a pretty penny more than normal, but it's perfect for driving and sailing. It basically blocks the harm of reflections, which is especially important on the water.
The rule I always hear is "style before brand." You have to pick out a style you like before you start looking at specific brands and models. I like to ignore that rule, though.
I mean, sunglasses are a fashion statement, and you should really be happy with what you look like in them.
This is the chart for face types / sunglasses, though. It's a good guideline.

I remember you said you were interested in Persol 2720's. If you're still interested, I could find a great, authentic pair for you on eBay. If not, as long as you give me a model number and a name of sunglasses, I can usually hawk out some great deals. Depending on your price range.
I'm pretty good with eyeing most Luxottica brands' authenticity marks, but I wouldn't be as good with the huge brands like D&G simply because there is a million replicas of those going on ebay because they're all "high-fashion". Personally, I'd start in a Sunglass Hut and try on a bunch of different glasses there, and write down the styles/brands that you like the most. But don't look at the price, because those are very inflated and you might have a heart attack.
