I've always used a full face mask with top third shade 5

I use a Miller Titanium 9400i hood set on cut mode shade 5. Sometimes when I can't see very well due to torch angle or dirty lenses I use grind mode.

It is of course up to individuals to use what they wish. Rather than question the motives of manufacturers however I would recommend the following links http://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHAfactsheet-eyeprotection-during-welding.pdf and page 18 on http://www.aws.org/technical/facts/Z49.1-2005-all.pdf
