Ebay is also a great source... you can sometimes pick up a great deal. As Boyso said it all depends what you are trying to do. If you want be be 100% for living history events then get the best you can and expect to pay over $200. If you are trying to just look the part then pick up a post war M1 helmet at a surplus store... repaint it... get rid of the grey or or modern straps and you should be good to go.
As for the jump chin cup strap... I usually tuck it up into my helmet. The only time I pull it down is for living history displays.
As for fit... I've never used my straps and the helmet has always stayed on.
