I use the TYR Rocket Sockets for practice and I love them. I've worn glasses forever, and had to wear prescription goggles so I was very limited in what I could wear, so now that I wear contacts I tried out tons of goggles and fell in love with the Rocket Sockets--they're very similar to speedos speed sockets I believe? well they're like swedish, but have a soft silicone rim instead of that hard plastic that digs into your eye socket. The silicone rim also helps with a little more suctioning so they stay put a little better, and at $7 a pair you really can't lose.
I also use the women's vanquishers for meets, I still am paranoid that my goggles are gonna fall off on a dive (even though the rocket sockets never have) and I need to have that super tight suction you can get if you tighten the vanquishers tight enough.
I suggest also getting a bungee cord for your goggle strap...its soo much easier to adjust I don't use it on my practice goggles anymore, but my race pairs always have a bungee on them, because that way you can crank it real tight before the race and loosen it for warm up or warm down without any trouble.
